Hi and thank you for taking time to read why I will be running the London 2020 marathon.

Back in 2014 I underwent the first of two spinal surgeries that left me incapacitated for 6 months. The feeling and overwhelm of loosing my identity, strength, movement and general basic day to day chores really affected my physical and mental wellbeing. There was a lot of uncertainty if I was going to be able to get back to full fitness and continue to do the job I love and help others. The firefighters charity was a pinnacle part of my recovery both physically and mentally. They installed the confidence in me and my ability’s and helped me back to full fitness.

Many firefighters up and down the country suffer severe physical and emotional traumas by carrying out day to day duties at work and without the fire fighters charity we would be unable to return to full fitness and continue to serve the public and do the job we love to do.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
