Story

I love being healthy and physically active, exercise is my career, my hobby, my social life & my passion. I cannot bear to think how I would live my life if that was taken away from me, yet that happens to thousands of soldiers fighting for our country and our way of life. They are at the peak of their physical fitness & in just a moment they lose their legs, their arms, their sight, often their independence & life as they knew it. I watched a t.v documentary about their plight a few months ago which brought tears to my eyes & I vowed that if I was able to run VLM this year (having been injured last year). I would do it to raise funds to enable these young men & women to regain their independence & hopefully walk & run again.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
