For my first half marathon I’m raising money for Somerset NHS charity. After having worked for the NHS for over 10 years I know how important charitable funds are, particularly on acute mental health wards. This money can fund activities, projects on the ward or help build therapeutic environments that can really enhance the patient experience. Or this money can go towards staff welfare, meaning that valuable staff stay in a job they love.
This is my first half marathon so I am just hoping to finish it, I’m not aiming for any particular time but I don’t want to come last!
