Rick,
I very much doubt if the team at Kings would be able to take any more on. The two leading Docs are at the Hospital at around 7-00am and work through until late at night. I have seen them go often without lunch. They work weekends and have not taken a holiday in years.
They desperately need more funds to complete their work, and spend a disproportionate time fighting to get the mpney they need. James Bowthorpe who is a student member of the team saw how hard they worked, and he was so incensed at the lack of funds, he decided to cycle round the world to raise money. He is on course to slash the record, and is cycling up to 150 miles in one day for 5 months. Much more than the Tour de France cycle race do in one day, and their race only lasts 3 weeks, not 5 months.
He has around 40 Kg of luggage and frequently camps on the side of the road overnight.
He has just landed in Canada, then will cross the USA coast to coast. JUst a shame after all this effort, he has only had 2% of his target of £1.8m donated. He will cycle 18,000 miles in all.
