On 23rd April  I will be running in the London Marathon, to raise funds for the tremendous volunteer organisation, St John Ambulance..

Maybe a SJA volunteer has helped you or been in attendance at a sporting or cultural event,  or even more recently at a Covid vaccination centre? They have given their time for our enjoyment and health. Volunteers, like my mother, a retired GP, who has volunteered for SJA for over 40 years’ at countless events. 

Recently I needed to render first aid to an elderly gentleman with severe chest pains, breathlessness and blurred vision. I looked around….there was no one else to help. I had to get on with it and hope I wasn’t causing him harm. Luckily he survived.  Subsequently I was introduced to a tremendous app produced by SJA - St John Ambulance First Aid Fast. Please download it from the App Store so you have life saving knowledge to hand. You might just save a life.

In return please do sponsor me in my marathon run.  With your support, I’ll persevere with the training and be spurred on on the big day!   Thank you.
