My story
Not sure how I’ve got to this point but I ‘m now feeling the fear of April 22 2012. Those of you who know me are aware I have been a natural swimmer from a young age and running is a foreign activity! So why on earth did I sign up?
Over the years I have developed a taste for physical challenges ranging from achieving the three peaks challenge in 24 hours, to reaching the top of Kilimanjaro and it is safe to say, these were not easy…
I had always considered the possibility of doing the London Marathon and admired those who could go the distance - never really thinking myself capable.
That changed late last year when I supported a friend in a half marathon. Seeing all these runners motivated me to just go for it. Before I had time or second thoughts I signed up and was studying scary looking training schedules.
I wanted to raise money for an organisation whose work I relate to. One that had treated myself and family members and one I had a professional interest in as a Physiotherapist. The Orthopaedic Institute is a leader in their field and contribute to the treatment of patients from all over the country. Even working in London I have rehabilitated patients who have benefitted from the institutes work.
Please join me in supporting the charity’s fine work and sponsor me in running the London Marathon!
