Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page and sponsoring my impromptu half marathon fundraiser. I was running the Manchester half marathon for Francis House in May which like all events has been cancelled due to the Coronavirus outbreak.
I’ve seen the effects of the Covid pandemic in daily life and at work as a respiratory doctor in a busy hospital . I have seen the effects of this devastating condition which words do not do justice : courage, care and compassion , worry, fear, togetherness, loneliness, resolve, determination, love and loss. I am proud to work alongside my NHS colleagues and thank my friends and family for your love and support. This helped me complete my run today ( especially when I had to re-run the last 3 Mile again to provide proof for my sponsors!)
If you were going to do an event for charity do it anyway if you can in lock down and observing socially distancing. Charities need your support now than ever before. Good luck and stay safe and together we will get through this.
Cheers Georges
