Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am running the Virgin London Marathon 2016 for Papworth Trust because I support their innovative rehabilitation programme.

This year, I’m running the London Marathon and helping to bridge the gap between hospital and home for disabled people in the UK.

Right now thousands of disabled and older people are lying in hospital beds, waiting to go home. They often can't as they don’t receive the social care they need when back in the community.

I'm supporting an innovative rehab model that allows doctors to discharge patients with confidence. MacFarlane Grieve House provides newly discharged patients with 4 weeks of first-class care in a state of the art residential complex to get them ready to go home.

This project is already saving the NHS thousands of pounds and freeing up hospital beds for newly admitted patients. With your support, it will provide a great model for the rest of the UK to follow.

If you want to join the innovation and help to bridge the gap between hospital and home for more patients, visit my page today and donate. I'll focus on trying to finish the marathon in one piece...
