Thank you for visiting my fundraising page - the 4th and final one for my 50th Birthday year! I am raising money for Back Up, a charity dedicated to supporting individuals affected by spinal cord injury. I know first-hand the massive difference Back Up can make in someone's life after such a life-altering event. My goal is to ensure that more people receive the vital help they need to reclaim their lives and thrive.

Spinal cord injuries can occur in an instant, but their impact lasts a lifetime. It can feel as though the everyday has become impossible, and your future has been snatched away. At Back Up, we understand this struggle deeply—we’ve experienced it too. However, we also recognise the extraordinary achievements that individuals with spinal cord injuries can accomplish when provided with the right support for themselves and their families.

That’s why we mentor, teach, and rebuild confidence. Our dedicated staff and volunteers serve as role models, guiding those affected through our proven model of support. We empower individuals with spinal cord injuries to return to work, school, hobbies, and family—essentially back to life.

Imagine this happening to you or a loved one. Wouldn’t you want Back Up there in your corner? On October 12th, 2025, I will be participating in the Royal Parks Half Marathon to raise funds for this incredible cause. My target is £350.

Please consider supporting Back Up as we strive to make a difference in the lives of those affected by spinal cord injuries. Your contribution could be the lifeline someone desperately needs—thank you! 🙏
