On the 27th October 2014 my life was forever changed after I was diagnosed with Guillain-Barré Syndrome. This resulted in a 2 month ICU admission followed by almost 3 months of intensive rehab.

March 2025 will mark the 10 year anniversary of my discharge from hospital. To celebrate the occasion, & revel in the fact our bodies can do incredible things, I’ll be running the Kew Gardens 10K & raising money for The Brain Charity.

If I can learn how to breathe, walk, talk & eat in 5 months, running shouldn’t be too hard..?
