Hello! As lead for sleep research at the University of Edinburgh, I recognise how integral sleep and circadian rhythms are to all aspects of life, well-being and medical care. In 2013,  I was diagnosed with breast cancer and became even more  determined to continue my fight for the recognition of sleep medicine in the UK and for the right of everyone to good quality sleep. Along the way, I have been fortunate to work with inspirational colleagues and collaborators, but the fight is not over....help me step my way toward funding some of our important work delayed by COVID - we've got until 31st December 2021. I will update my step count regularly and appreciate your support!
