I'm fundraising for...

Back in January 2021, at the age of 44, my beautiful mum had a major stroke whilst at work during Covid. We were told she had 20% chance of survival and if she did survive she probably wouldn’t be able to walk or talk again. After a partial craniotomy and 4 months in rehab, she survived. The hospital team called her their ‘miracle patient’ because she beat the odds and learnt to walk and talk again.

This has left her with disabilities and at the age of 24 I am her full time carer. 


During these long 4 months, we were not able to visit my mum due to Covid restrictions. But the entire team who looked after her made it a little less scary for her. 


I am not a runner by any means however I’ve always wanted to challenge myself to give back. I am a huge advocate for raising awareness and the realities of what it’s like to be a carer for a loved one with life long disabilities. 
There are 16 million disabled people in the UK. That’s one in four of us. Life is harder when you’re disabled. You're twice as likely to be unemployed, getting care is a struggle and the cost of living is higher. It’s wrong and unacceptable.
So, I'm fundraising for Scope to create a fairer society.
We want a future that’s fair to disabled people, always. Together we’ll use our collective power to change attitudes and end the injustice.
Join me in making this happen. Let's end disability inequality, today.
