Story
My names Lucy and I'll be running my first ever Cardiff Half Marathon in October!
I currently work as a nurse at UHW in a busy Spinal/Trauma Unit looking after extremely poorly patients, ensuring they get the appropriate care in facilitating a quick and easy recovery. Spinal trauma requires a large amount of rehabilitation to aid recovery and the staff work selflessly to encourage the best quality of life/care for all patients.
I am running the half marathon to raise money to not only show support to the patients we care for but also my lovely colleagues. The 2 years as a result of COVID-19 has comprised of staff shortages and a real collaboration of teamwork when we've needed it most.
I'd like to run this half marathon to raise money to help our ward.
We’d like to raise money for a new medication trolley, mirrors for patients and other various equipment required for spinal/ trauma patients.
I kindly ask that you’ll support me every step of the way to be able to run this exciting half in October!
