My name is Clara and I am running the London Marathon in April.

As you can imagine I am both excited and nervous, but what’s keeping me going through these dark, wet and cold nights is knowing that I’m running in aid of an amazing charity – Montgomeryshire Emergency Doctors (MEDs).

MED’s provide Immediate Medical Care either at the scene of an accident, medical emergency or during transport to hospital.

Six years ago, I was involved in a serious accident that changed my life forever, breaking five bones in my back - yet with the help of Dr Les Milne, one of the volunteer doctors at MEDs, I am here to tell the story.

I am one of the lucky ones, and now I want to give something back to the charity by raising as much money as possible so they can purchase much-needed equipment to improve the care they provide patients.

I would be extremely grateful to anyone who is able to sponsor me and help support this wonderful “life-saving” charity. (Registered Charity: 1082604)’
