For many people, jumping out of a plane would be a terrifying ordeal. Throw in a fear of heights and you would think completing a charity skydive would be impossible. That didn’t stop 70-year-old Christine Frangiamore from taking on the challenge. Explaining why she chose to fundraise on our behalf, Christine said: “My daughter Dani works for the charity. I am able to have a true insight into all the wonderful things that the charity does on a daily basis, all the support they offer to both patients and staff along with the research they fund.” She took the plunge at Sibson Airfield in Peterborough, freefalling in a tandem-skydive with the team at UK Parachute. We are so grateful to Christine for raising over £1,200. Watch Christine's amazing feat. #skydive #fundraisingchallenge #RoyalFreeCharity #NHS

About us
The Royal Free Charity is the charity NHS charity partner for the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust and North Middlesex University Hospital NHS Trust. We support our NHS colleagues, patients and our researchers at Barnet, Chase Farm, North Mid and the Royal Free hospitals. From small acts of kindness to huge investments in discovery and innovation, everything we do changes lives for the better. Our extraordinary volunteers enrich the experience of patients and the support they provide to NHS staff is transformational. We’re there when patients need us, thanks to the services we provide. And the grants that we make help our hospitals to accelerate vital medical research and invest in innovations to help patients and staff. All this is made possible by the generosity of our supporters who help our hospitals go further and faster than the NHS could do alone.

Tune into pondcam, our live stream from Hampstead Heath, to enjoy the peaceful sights of the nature reserve pond: https://lnkd.in/e_HveFsG We set up pondcam for oncology patients at the Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust, helping them relax while waiting for appointments. One patient told us: "Watching the water gently rippling away is so calming and therapeutic! I’ve watched a majestic swan glide around and I also watched a family of ducks just going about their everyday business. I think pondcam is a wonderful idea." 🦆 🦢 🥀 #pondcam #RoyalFreeCharity #NHS
