My Story

I've decided to run the London Marathon in April of this year and have chosen a charity which is really important to me both personally with my family history and also in my job as a Physiotherapist - The Royal Osteoporosis Society. 

3.5 million people in the UK are living with the condition and one in two women over 50 will break a bone because of osteoporosis. My lovely Mum, Sue, was diagnosed with severe osteoporosis of her spine 3 years ago which was only picked up after she persisted in asking her GP for a dexa scan. Currently,  screening for osteoporosis in the UK is not routinely carried out unless you break a bone! So millions of women could be preventing life changing fractures affecting their quality of life. At the One Life Physiotherapy clinic, we run Physio led Pilates classes to support bone health and improve spinal mobility for people in our local community as the right exercise really makes a difference! 

I'm running the London marathon 2023 to raise awareness of osteoporosis and for my own bones! Thank you so much for your support.
