Earlier this year, we were rocked by the loss of our amazing friend and colleague, Mike. He had been struggling with his mental health, which led him to take his own life in March.

Mike was one of the most genuine friends I knew. He was always the first to offer help, advice, time - even when he was incredibly busy. He was passionate in his work as a Physio and was constantly going the extra mile to make a real difference in his patients' lives. He was, and still is, an inspiration to me. I am honoured to have known such a wonderful person, and to be involved in keeping his memory alive, although I am heartbroken that it is necessary. 

This is part of our way of paying tribute to Mike, in a way that reflects the person that he was - volunteering time and expertise so that those who may not always be in a position to come in and see us in clinic, have that opportunity, and raising money for an appropriate charity. Whilst is doesn't come close to filling the hole we all feel, we hope that it will be part of a healing process for us as a team.
