Christian currently works as GP trainee at University College Hospitals in London. He admits it’s all a bit mad, but says it’s keeping him sane and helping do some good for a lot of great causes. At the end of the year all the money raised will be split equally between the twelve charities.
Maybe we can sign up Christian to take part in the University’s next challenge event?
