I have worked in the fundraising team at RCS England for just over 18 years and I'm now running in support of the College's Surgical Research Fund. This will be my 4th 10k and I'm very much hoping to achieve a personal best whilst running for MY charity.

Surgeons save, extend and improve the lives of tens of thousands of people throughout the UK every day. At RCS England their work is not limited to specific illnesses or areas of disease but supports innovative care for all ages across all specialties.

RCS England safeguards experience, treatment and outcomes of the UK's surgical patients through the ongoing state of the art training of our surgeons and pioneering research. They need our help for this work to continue, flourish and push the frontiers of surgical care.

Please help me to support the RCS England and it will have a direct impact on the future of surgery and the patients it saves.
