#Congratulations Dr Gibson! 🎉

Thanks for your lifelong dedication to improving the health of children with respiratory problems.

We are proud to have helped your team develop the sleep lab at @RHCGlasgow through funding essential monitoring equipment.💜

[Lucy Ritchie @lucyemma2011]

@4manLEJOG You can do this!!! Your last bit of training for London to Paris next week 😉😆 kidding. Nearly there guys 💜

[Lucy Ritchie @lucyemma2011]

@4manLEJOG See you soon guys! 🚲

[Lucy Ritchie @lucyemma2011]

Some of the Paediatrics Orthotics team at RHC and their friends are taking on the Lands Ends to John O’Groats cycle over the next week for @GCH_Charity - days 1 complete! You can follow their journey through their Twitter account - well done guys 👏🏻💜

[4manLEJOG @4manLEJOG]

Day 1 - That's the first 100 miles done. Starting at Land's End with the obligatory signpost photo, this traverse of Cornwall and into Devon is probably our Queen's (hardest) stage with the constant hilly terrain. At least we were fresh for it. Great first day and all are well.

@alysonwalkerRHC Hi Alyson, are you able to drop me a DM in regards to your recent questions? ☺️

[Lucy Ritchie @lucyemma2011]

My car broke down in #Glasgow Govan/Ibrox area last night and a very kind man named Derek who I think was on duty for @dhlexpressuk helped me move my car so I wasn’t in danger, in the pouring rain. Would love to be able to thank him again if anyone can help! #dhl #glasgow

[Lucy Ritchie @lucyemma2011]

@NeilAGibson hello you! Drop me a dm - would be lovely to catch up! ☺️

[Lucy Ritchie @lucyemma2011]

Back to where it all began, Glasgow children’s hospital, although this time working for the charity rather than a patient. Delighted to be joining @GCH_Charity fundraising team this week 💜

[Lucy Ritchie @lucyemma2011]

Delighted to share we have secured this charitable partnership with St James Quarter in Edinburgh. Looking forward to working with @Forth1CFK and St James Quarter!

[Deaf Action @DeafAction]

We're thrilled to be partnering with St James Quarter in Edinburgh, along with @Forth1CFK. Through the charity partnership, we hope to raise deaf awareness, and help SJQ become the first lifestyle hub which is #inclusive and accessible to #deaf visitors.

[Deaf Action @DeafAction]

A deaf resident at our supported accommodation in Edinburgh was given a DNR without his knowledge or consent all because of 'communication difficulties'!

We are horrified that this man, in his 60's and full of life, has been given this...

I may have moved on to pastures new, but still always supporting @FaceEquality, particularly this #FaceEqualityWeek - I’ve been lucky in my experiences but that’s not the case for everyone in our community and so their work is still desperately needed! 🦋 #treachercollins

[Lucy Ritchie @lucyemma2011]

I'm taking on @DeafAction #SignForDeafAction challenge - fingerspelling my name. I nominate @Angela_BCC @PGerra and the staff at @CochlearUK to take on this challenge along with anyone who wishes to try!

#DeafAwarenessWeek

[Deaf Action @DeafAction]

Lucy was born profoundly deaf as she was born without ears as a result of having Treacher Collins Syndrome. She was one of the youngest children to be fitted with a bone conduction cochlear implant (UK). Lucy has planned her 14.5 mile route past hospitals in Glasgow 🏥 #Kiltwalk

[Lucy Ritchie @lucyemma2011]

I’m nearly two months into my new role at @DeafAction as community and events fundraiser, and to mark my new role myself and some of the staff are taking on the Kiltwalk this weekend. Any donations would be gratefully welcomed 🥰🦻🏻 https://t.co/tcz6t7WOAs #profoundlydeaf

[Lucy Ritchie @lucyemma2011]
