'Team Cake' makes a homemade £1,405
A group of patients and trustees gathered together in the Atrium of King's College Hospital to hold a cake & book sale for the limb reconstruction patients. It was an amazing couple of days and the event managed to raise £1,405 for the Trust which will go towards vital equipment and services for its patients. Our next sale is 8th and 9th November and we would appreciate any kind donations of books or handmade fayre. Why not get involved? Any contribution of help would be most welcome; with either helping with the stall or selling raffle tickets, you could hear about our work at the KCH LRT charity and hear our plans for the future. If so, please contact us on 0784 157 6084 or via the contact page of our website. Here are some photographs and stories from people we met during the event:

Yemi Agbolade (15) had an accident and was treated by our limb
reconstruction team. Yemi holds the
record for the shortest no. of time in a frame at 14 weeks. Here he is, recovering well, and enjoying
his school days.

Mr Graham Pound treated by the limb reconstruction team is due to
have his frame removed shortly. Here
you can see Graham modelling our ‘limb reconstruction jean’ with the widening

and fibula. Tom underwent surgery
involving 3cm of bone being removed and stretched. He has had the frame on for three months
with a possible 6 to 7 months of treatment expected. Pictured here talking to
