Chris was my friend and neighbour. She was an intelligent, powerful and warm person and we all miss her.

Chris’ professional life focused on helping others educationally, with a particular emphasis on accessing learning for those who might not have the same opportunities as the rest of us. Chris worked with people in Tower Hamlets, Hackney and Hounslow, Leicester, Moscow, Nigeria, St Kitts, West Indies, USA, Bangladesh and Malta.

She made a positive difference to other people’s lives through training, education and enabling independence. This run is dedicated to her memory.
