This time last year I was seriously ill and wheelchair-bound. A major part of my recovery was the physical therapy and support offered by Solihull Wheels for All. This charity, run by volunteers, offers assisted cycling for people recovering from illness as well as for those with a variety of disabilities and additional needs.

The mental well-being that has come from this cannot be underestimated. The feeling when I managed to cycle again by myself brought tears to my eyes.

In June a large group of us are taking part in the Barmouth 10K in aid of this charity. Most people will run it but my target is simply to complete it - given my journey in this last year, this would be one of my proudest achievements.
