I have been well and truly inspired by Claire Lomas an old girl of Stamford High School where I am currently Head of Girls' Games. Claire completed the London Marathon in a robotic suit in 2012 after becoming paralysed from her chest down in a horse riding accident.

Having met Claire and listened to her story, I was completely taken by her determination, belief and motivation to continue with life. A sportswoman myself, your worst nigtmare would be to never walk again, something Claire was faced with after a freak accident. 

I have chosen Spinal Research as my charity to support in honour of all the good things they do for people like Claire. Claire's dream is to maybe walk one day again and I hope that with today's technology and science this may be achievable. Every penny you donate is going to a very worthy cause and you never know, we may be able to find a cure to paralysis.
