adidas Manchester Marathon 2025 · 27 April 2025 ·

Story

As many of you know I am partial to a run, I'm not sure that many of you know that I’m a specialist nurse that manages a clinic that diagnoses and treats patients with a condition called Lipoedema, this is a painful condition that causes heavy, large legs and arms in women. Lipoedema is underfunded within the NHS and is commonly misunderstood and misdiagnosed.

The disease affects people differently, my patients can struggle with physical symptoms as well as suffering mental health problems as a consequence of having this disease.

I’m using my legs to raise awareness and funds for this fantastic charity, that many of my patients find to be a lifeline.

This will be my first marathon, please donate to such a great charity and cause.
