Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I have decided to take on the challenge of running the London Landmarks Half Marathon in support of Royal Star & Garter. The charity was founded in 1916 to care for the severely injured young men returning from the battlefields of  WWI. It now provides specialist nursing, dementia and therapeutic care to veterans and  their partners.

I have been newly appointed as a Governor for the charity and what better way to start and show my support than to raise money for them. This way I combine my two passions - running and excellent care  for those in need.

I have visited the 3 care homes ( High Wycombe, Surbiton and Solihull)  and  as a Consultant Psychiatrist for Older Adults I was blown away by the enthusiasm and dedication of the staff I met. The residents I spoke to had nothing but positive things to say. 

My training is in full swing, not always enjoyable and I am hoping to finish in around 2hours 30 - 2 hours 45. However the time is not the important thing , I am just looking forward to running around London’s Landmarks and raising money for an amazing charity.

With your support, you could help fund the cost of physiotherapy equipment so that residents’ maintain active and healthy, arts and crafts materials, or transport for trips and social outings to theatres and museums.
