Story
January 2022 we received the call that “Kev” my dad had come off his bike and it wasn’t good!
After a few weeks in ICU he was then transferred to The royal Sheffield spinal cord injury centre to start his rehabilitation, as family we would travel up every day to visit him.
This is when we started to realise as we got to understand the centre and its staff how under funded this sector had become.
Fortunately Kev has a strong and loving family to help him through the tough times, but this can’t be said for all the patients that go into rehabilitation.
So Harry and I are doing the 2024 London marathon to help raise money and do our part to improve medical research and rehabilitation.
We have also put together a charity golf day and duathlon race at the chevin golf club duffield. 24/09/2023
