 Happy Sunday everybody! As you can see I have got, let me show you, my Caval trust t-shirt on wearing it with absolute pride. So this is a vlog all about the Caval trust, what they do, how amazing they are and how you can help out nurses in financial need. So the Caval trust are an amazing charity, they help out nurses in financial need. I don't know any other charity like this, it's absolutely amazing and I originally discovered the Caval trust when I was actually searching for charity work to do and I wanted something genuine, I wanted something that I genuinely wanted to do and really could get behind and support. I looked up a lot of the cancer charities because cancer is quite close to my heart. I looked up dementia because again I really love dementia and Alzheimer's and helping sort of those people in those times of stress and need, if that makes sense and I looked up quite a few things and it wasn't until one of our lecturers, she won't mind me saying this, Anne Marie Dodson, sorry Anne Marie, shared a tweet on Twitter and she was looking for people to support this charity and she was looking for people to climb Snowden or do a skydive or something like that and I was like I'm not sure about a skydive but I would definitely do Snowden because I love hiking, I love walking but I've never actually done mountain climbing as such before so I was really excited about this so I replied to it and not really thinking anything of it, I was just sort of thinking yeah this will be fun no problem. Next thing I knew I had an email with all the information signed up that's it ready to go and I was like oh okay this is serious I'm actually there I'm doing it so I then set up my just giving page last year for last year's attempt of Snowden which some of you have seen I will post the video here of it but this was last year's attempt and we didn't quite make the summit because of Storm Callum but we did do our 10k for nurses hashtag 10k for nurses this is what it's all about doing 10k your way for nurses to raise money for an amazing charity who help nurses in financial need like I've said so yeah so that's how I came to learn about the Cavaltross and I looked into it and I just thought wow this is an amazing charity they help nurses in financial need they help healthcare assistants in financial need and I don't know anyone like that this is amazing and they're only a tiny tiny charity so I thought yes this is a charity I can get behind this is something that I fully believe in I'm passionate about I love nurses I love nursing or I wouldn't want to raise money for those and you know with all of the things that are going on the staff shortages and everything right now we need this charity more than ever to help those that are in massive need this year I am doing Snowden again but this time we are challenging ourselves that little bit more because Storm Callum wasn't enough we thought we'd do Snowden at night so we are doing a nighttime walk the danger is there let's go guys I'm ready for this so we are climbing Snowden at night this is going to be in October and my little pack has arrived the t-shirts have arrived as you're already sitting if anyone would like to sponsor me please please do I will leave the links below any penny counts to this amazing charity please do it and in the pack look all these amazing people these are all the amazing people that have already done this previously and raised thousands for the capital trust is amazing but inside that's us that's us from last year doing a little bit of promo for it at bcu we had myself and mary mel and k and we raised over a thousand pounds and we also not only did we do the the 10k for nurses Snowden we actually baked and we did a bake sale and it was halloween and we had such an amazing time it was one of the best bake sales I've ever seen at bcu and that's not me being biased because it was us that did it but genuinely it was amazing I'm gonna I'll post some pictures here as well so you can see it but we all dressed up it was halloween themed we had so much stuff going on we sold so many cakes can't fully remember their amount but it was amazing and we raised money either way and that's just fantastic a little bit about the capital trust just briefly quickly the capital trust is a charity that supports support UK nurses midwives and healthcare assistants in personal or financial hardship this includes disabilities illnesses older age and domestic abuse in 2018 they helped over three thousand three hundred people in financial need and that's incredible how amazing is that I don't know any other trust like this they are just incredible and they deserve every single penny they get to help others in financial needs so please help them help these nurses and healthcare professionals so that they can help you so this weekend we are going to the Movens to practice for Snowden Amarie has set up a load of scenarios for us she's sort of preparing us for the event if something happened so if there was a fatality if someone falls off the cliff if storm storm Callum comes again and blows some away I don't know if something happens out there we need to be prepared for it as nurses because we don't get that sort of training at university we just get the the routine sort of hospitalised or community-based settings we're not prepped for anything like mountaineering or anything like that so we need to be prepared so we are going up to the Movens she's created a whole load of scenarios and I'm really excited for it I love this sort of things I love not knowing what to expect and being thrown into something so that's going to be amazing I think and I'm going to learn a lot from Malvern and hopefully take that with me to Snowden fingers crossed we don't need these skills at Snowden everyone's going to be safe everyone's going to be sound and we're going to get down up and down Snowden together safely but I just thought I'd share that with you because I think that's just amazing and she didn't have to do that she doesn't get paid any extra to do that and for them to organise this it's just it's incredible that they can be so thoughtful and just be so inspiring and motivating and dedicated to training other people and training us student nurses and making sure that we are constantly thinking our skills are constantly going and just to give us that more knowledge in case something happens out there in the real world in the real life there and they just don't get anything extra for it and I think that's just amazing so yeah so I have spoke way too much I'm really sorry but I just wanted to share how amazing the Caval trust was if you can donate anything please donate like I've asked and if not please have a look at the website at least see what they do share it make sure more people are more aware of what fantastic things they do look
