It has taken 10 years to raise the £40,000 needed for a play area at the Medway 
Maritime Hospital in Gillingham, Kent, but the facility has now been opened.
Sponsored
cycle rides by corporate supporters in four countries and a donation from the hospital’s
league of friends combined to reach the total.
