2025 will be my 4th Royal Parks Half and 3rd for BackUp. As ever, I am hoping that this year will be a PB year!

In running the Half, I will be raising money for Back Up, a charity for people affected by spinal cord injury.

For over 30 years, Back Up have helped people and their families to rebuild their independence after a spinal cord injury. Their award-winning services challenge the perceptions of what's possible and help to increase skills and confidence.

• It is estimated that 4,400 people sustained a spinal cord injury last year in the UK alone

• That's one person every two hours

• There are approximately 105,000 people living with a spinal cord injury in the UK

• It can happen to anyone at any time

Back Up are here for people in their darkest hours, so they get back up to living life to the full.
