Radiotherapists endure mud, sweat and tears for patients at QEHB
A team of sporty radiotherapists at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham (QEHB) are set to tackle an extreme endurance challenge to raise money for QEHB Charity.
The team, which includes radiographers Chris Sharpe, Brogan Hadland, Alice Stanford, Helen Joyce, Hayley Carruthers, Perrie Mortiboys, Katie Thorpe, Nawaaz Ibrahim and Harrison Smith, will compete in the X-Runner Wild Warrior, in Derby.
The 10K obstacle race will take place on Saturday 1 October, and includes over 70 obstacles from balance beams and giant walls, to cargo nets and fire.
Chris Sharpe, who has worked at QEHB for just over a year, said: “We all work at QEHB’s radiotherapy department, so we decided to raise money specifically for patients on our department, to help improve their overall experience whilst at hospital.
“As a group, we really wanted to do something that was challenging but also fun at the same time, which is why we decided on, what sounds like, a very muddy obstacle course!”
