Story

I'm so excited to be back able to set challenges for myself again. 

It's been a tough 2 years but we got through it. During lockdown I applied for a new job, as working in fitness was so uncertain. I applied for a job in cornerstone as a team member as was delighted to be offered a job and started in April 2021

I knew a bit of what cornerstone did as I had done fitness classes with them before. But I had no idea how much cornerstone changes peoples life. Without cornerstone the people we support would live very different lifes, and not for the better.

It's a very humbling experience to know as a team member I make a difference to someones life everyday. We do amazing work, just a day at the cinema or a night bowling makes a massive difference to peoples lifes. As team members we strive every day to make sure people live their best lifes. You see hashtags every day on social media every day #livingmybestlife but to enable someone to do that daily. Well that's an absolute honor.

But important to remember that for all the amazing work cornerstone they are a charity. So I'm running the Edinburgh half marathon on the 29th of May. I'm raising money for cornerstone so we can continue to make a difference to peoples lifes.
