Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking on this year's Royal Parks half marathon. Confirmation is in that this is going to be a virtual race on 11th April. I will then hopefully join to do it again around the Royal Parks on 10th October (depending how the virtual race goes!)  

I'm raising funds for Horatio's garden https://www.horatiosgarden.org.uk/ who have lovely gardens at 5 of the NHS Spinal Injures Centres in the UK including where I work as a physiotherapist at the National Spinal Injuries Centre, Stoke Mandeville Hospital. These gardens are an amazing space for patients, relatives and staff to enjoy and meet outside of the ward spaces. They’re truly beautiful spaces and any funds will be used to help them be enjoyed for more years to come and fund further gardens in the other centres  

During the covid pandemic I took up running as a way to manage the situation we were all in. In April I was struck ill by covid and took to quarentine in our bedroom away from the children and Olly for 7 days, being just about able to walk to the toilet and back. I used running (in between countless more isolations) to rehabilitate myself to full fitness and to help with the stresses of work and homeschooling!. I'm running more than I ever thought I would be able to with my funny knees!
