Dawn and Debbie from Lanyon Bowdler Solicitors are excited to be running the London Landmarks Half Marathon on 6 April to raise money for Horatio’s Garden, a special garden which brings comfort to patients at the Robert Jones and Agnes Hunt Hospital in Oswestry.

The garden is named after Horatio Chapple, a schoolboy who wanted to be a doctor and noticed the lack of outdoor spaces for patients whilst volunteering at the Salisbury Spinal Unit. Tragically his life was cut short in 2011 at just 17, when his camp was attacked by a bear during a school expedition to Svalbard in the Arctic.

The Personal Injury Team at Lanyon Bowdler, helps clients rebuild their life following a serious injury and have worked closely with the hospital’s spinal injuries unit for many years.

Over the years, they have visited clients at the hospital, and have watched the garden develop and become a thing of beauty. It also has a very functional and practical role in supporting the patients, giving them a wonderful outdoor sanctuary, assisting in their rehabilitation and nurturing their wellbeing after spinal injury.
