Cirlce Line Walk: X-ray team walk the 'Tube' in memory of Pte Martin Bell.

At 8.45am on Saturday 7th May as people all over the UK were enjoying a well-earned lie in, a team of 15 radiographers from a central london NHS Trust were preparing under foreboding dark clouds to walk the Circle Line.

Shoelaces were tied, muscles stretched, coffees drunk and raincoats donned (the torrential downpour had begun) - the team were ready!

Over the course of the day the sun came out and spirits rose. Fourteen miles, 27 stations and a few pairs of sore feet later the end was in sight. It can be safely said everyone was looking forward to a refreshing drink and a sit down. Strangely enough though the Circle Line was down that day so there was no option but to keep on walking. The team successively completed the challenge in six and half hours and raised over £2,400 for
The Parachute Regiment Afghanistan Trust.

Thank you to all those who have already sponsored the team and if you would like to sponsor us go to the JustGiving page; http://www.justgiving.com/CircleLineWalk-ParachuteRegAfghanTrust
