I've been working with Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust as Contract Manager for Bank Partners, over the past four years. 

Having worked onsite at the Trust for so many years I've been able to witness first-hand the fantastic care the staff provide for their patients, so I'm very proud to be running the Coastal Waterside Half Marathon to support the hospitals charity.

I started my running journey back in 2019 when COVID-19 hit by doing couch to 5k, before joining a local bootcamp where I've made many friends and my passion for fitness has continued to grow.

Portsmouth Hospitals Charity supports the work of Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust to help enhance patient care and support staff welfare.

Portsmouth Hospitals Charity funds a range of projects including the improvement of existing facilities, the purchase of new state-of-the-art equipment, staff training and helps foster research and innovation.

This would not be possible without kind donations from the local community, legacies, corporate donations and grants.
