I'm running this marathon in order to support the place I've worked at for nearly 40 years

My reason is to give back to the service that has supported me in my career and provided me with stability

I have witnessed many changes and excellent practices and learned to self reflect, develop and progress with support from my colleagues and peers

I would like to raise money to help our service buy equipment for our department- Neurology Outpatients Therapy Service to assist people with their rehabilitation journey with conditions such as Stroke, spinal cord injury, MS, and Motor Neurone disease

This marathon is about my personal challenge to stay the course

I have reached 61 and still work as a Neuro Physio. I had some personal health problems 2 years ago both physical and psychological where I thought I would have to give up working and at the time getting up and facing the day was very challenging. I lost my confidence and was scared to leave the house. My employers and occupational health helped me get the right counselling and were very understanding. Luckily I have come through the other side and this journey for me is a personal celebration and a chance to give back too.

Thank you for donating or even just reading about my story
