Half marathon fundraiser

Hi,

If any of you know me running is a sport

that I have always loathed but I have

decided to challenge myself and run

Ards half marathon which to me is not fun

at all

I will be running in aid of two charities,

First one being Brain Injury Matters

Northern Ireland.

I currently work as a nurse in the Regional Acquired Brain Injury unit (RABIU) in

Musgrave Hospital

This facility helps people who have had an acquired brain injury. In RABIU we work

closely with individuals to help them

return to the best possible quality of life

through intense rehabilitation.

Brain Injury Matters is a charity that focuses on post care and support, promote and

empower all those affected by an acquired Brain Injury.

The second charity I am running for is

Lochaber Mountain Rescue Team (LMRT)

This is a mountain rescue team in Scotland that covers Ben Nevis.

This charity means a lot to many following a tragic accident after a close friend and

colleague’s husband got into difficulty

whilst at Ben Nevis

LMRT work at the request of the

police to attend incidents. It is a non profit organisation built up from volunteers that

include specialists from medical care to

climbing and logistics.
