Story

So for a long time now I have been wanting to do something to raise money for the Sick Kids Friends Foundation, which supports the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Edinburgh. 

I spent nine weeks and countless hours of outpatient appointments at Sick Kids after a serious car accident in 2005- without the extensive orthopaedic and plastic surgery that was performed by the hospital's talented, caring surgeons (and the fantastic aftercare and often much needed moral support from the amazing nurses) I literally wouldn't have a leg to run with...

I'm now preparing to run 10k (scary)- something I never would have thought possible when I was hobbling around on my crutches or getting pushed in my wheelchair. It would mean a lot if you could donate something (anything!), to allow Sick Kids to continue their incredibly important, life saving and life changing work.

Thank you :)
