I am a 74-year-old who had a serious accident in October 2020 while running, resulting in a broken shoulder and leaving me unable to walk properly.  I needed three operations, several consultations with nerve specialists and an intensive course of physiotherapy.  Despite being in the worst of this pandemic, the NHS did not let me down.  My shoulder is virtually back to normal and I am now able to run again.  In gratitude to the dozens of staff who looked after me so well, I am raising money for the local MTW NHS Charity by running this year's Tunbridge Wells Half Marathon, one of the toughest in the country.  I have other medical conditions, which are being managed by medication, but I have had the consent and support of the medical specialists to undertake this challenge.

I am also a member of Tunbridge Wells Rotary Club, which is celebrating its centenary this year.  In recognition, we are raising money for outdoor adult gym equipment to be installed in Dunorlan Park, the biggest and most famous of recreational areas in Tunbridge Wells.

My intention is that all donations made to my appeal will be donated 50-50 to the MTW Charity and the TW Rotary Centenary Appeal, via the Tunbridge Wells Rotary Club Trust.
