There is a very proud dad at our Trust this week! Daniel Madden’s son Keelan, five (left), won a national competition in the Daily Mirror which saw his rainbow poster in support of the NHS published in yesterday’s newspaper.

Daniel is a multi-disciplinary team coordinator in our Urology team, based at King George Hospital; while Keelan’s mum Yvette works for the London Ambulance Service.

Daniel said: “Keelan’s nan saw the competition in the paper to design a rainbow poster for the NHS and said he should enter.

“He loves rainbows – it’s why he always wears bright colours, so he really enjoyed doing it. When we found out he’d won and his poster would be printed as a pull-out in the paper for people to put up we were amazed, and so proud!”

Keelan drew a big rainbow underneath the words, ‘after the storm comes a rainbow’ for his poster. His design was published in the paper yesterday (Thursday 16 April) for people to put up in their windows.

Daniel, 42, added: “We found out the day before it was going to be published and when we told him he was over the moon.

“While he’s out of school and the normal routine we’re trying to keep his education going, and also make it fun for him, so something like this was really good for keeping him busy.”
