Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Through accident, cancer and other illnesses I have multiple "issues" using my body.  Thanks to the care I have received at RJ&AH I am once again able to take part in activities.  

For this event I have re-learnt how to ride a bike after losing muscle etc from my right leg 15 years ago. I was told I would have very limited use of the leg, thanks to physio, and stubbornness, I can do most things. Not only riding a bike but I am just starting to be able to run short distances!

I have also had to learn how to long-distance swim in a wetsuit, learning new strokes to accommodate my "dodgy" shoulders.  I am sure I'll crack it in time for the event!

I will be supported by my daughter, LIz, who has also been a patient of RJ&AH having had 3 ops and many years of out- patients' support. We both want to give something back to the hospital that has made it possible for us to take part in this amazing event.
