Since injuring my spinal cord in 2018, it has been so important to me to stay as fit & active as I can! One of the ways I have done this is through attending regular sessions at Neurokinex. I first learned about the centre through the step up scheme, being referred through my hospital physio & since 2019 I have been attending gym sessions every week. The team there are FANTASTIC, supporting every individual with your unique goals, even supporting me to get fit to ski earlier this year, something I never thought would be possible for me!

I am challenging myself this year to Row 5k (5000m) between 4-8th September to raise important funds to allow newly injured individuals the opportunity that I had, of 6 pre-paid sessions at that vital point of leaving hospital rehabilitation.

Neurokinex Step Up Scheme brings a life-changing opportunity of six free rehab sessions to adults and children with a new spinal cord injury. It's an absolute lifeline which enables people to access the world-class Neurokinex facilities and expertise. The Step Up Scheme costs the Neurokinex Charitable Trust £420 per person to fulfil and it relies on funding for its survival.

From 3-10 September 2023, Neurokinex clients, families, friends and associates are stepping up to raise vital funds to secure the Step Up Scheme for another year. Many of those taking part benefitted from the Step Up Scheme themselves and know first-hand the physical and psychological value of this early intervention following their injury. They are now giving back to enable others to have this great opportunity.

So why not join in! Come & support us, follow me on my socials to see how I’m getting on, cheer me on & if possible, drop me some sponsor ££ to keep this truly amazing opportunity going for the next person who needs it most.

Thank you so much in advance! It really does mean the world to me x
