Team GB's Lola Anderson, who won a gold medal in rowing at this year's Paris Olympics in the women's quadruple skulls, will join Kingston Hospital Charity's special memory walk A Night to Remember to raise money to support bereaved families at Kingston Hospital.

 Anderson, who was born at Kingston Hospital and is originally from Richmond, will be walking in memory of her dad, who was treated for Cancer at the hospital three years ago.   

She will be joined by fellow Team GB rowing mate, Holly Dunford who won a bronze medal in the women's eights for Britain also at this year's Olympics.  

 Lola said: "I'm proud to have the privilege of walking alongside bereaved families.

Some of the strongest and bravest people, who despite their own grief, want to raise money so that other families get the best possible support if the worst happened to them." 

 She continued: "My dad spent a lot of time receiving treatment from the wonderful staff at Kingston hospital and so it would be an honour to take part and celebrate them and the community within the hospital."

 The event, which is taking place on the evening of Saturday 7 September, is providing an opportunity for family, friends, and colleagues to come together and celebrate the lives of loved ones, whilst walking a route of six and a half or 13 miles, starting and finishing at the Market Place in Kingston.

 The money raised at this year's A Night to Remember will go towards ensuring the parents that have to face the devastation of their child dying at the hospital are provided with specialist psychological support from an experienced bereavement psychologist.

Research shows that bereaved families are at a higher risk of mental and physical poor health and that psychological support is very important in helping to improve this.

  If you'd like to join Lola and Holly at this year's A Night to Remember and help raise as much as possible for bereavement support, please visit Night to Remember - Kingston Hospital Charity (khc.org.uk).

 Registration for the event costs £20 for adults and £10 for children and each participant will receive a medal, glow sticks, and refreshments.
