Myself, family members, friends and colleagues will be climbing Ben Nevis on May 15th. This is to raise funds for two units - Inverclyde Royal Hospital (critical care unit) and Glasgow Royal Infirmary (canniesburn plastic surgery unit). You don't think of the hard work these people do until it has hit you personally, either through a family member, friend or yourself.
My cousin, Charlene Montgomery, a 21 year old aspiring dancing teacher could have lost her leg had it not been for the exceptional skills of our local surgeons/doctors. Her leg was severed, as an innocent bystander due to a two car collision outside her home. Her story was in The Greenock Telegraph and The Sun. After 9 hours of reconstructive surgery and 17 nights in hospital, Charlene is on her road to recovery.
