100 Marathons - and PMR!

On 16th December, Lynda Copson ran her 100th marathon. Enough of a massive achievement in its own right - but just imagine that Lynda was diagnosed with PMR a few months ago. She thought about her fellow sufferers when she ran the event, and raised sponsorship for PMRGCAuk. What a complete inspiration! Please add to her sponsorship total on her fundraising page:

Well done!

I need to hear more news like this-got on the treadmill again this morning, first time in a while but felt better for it mentally at least. Don’t think a marathon is on the list for 2018 though. Just thankful I’ve managed to ride the pony throughout the last 3 years, being able to do what you love is a bonus.

All good wishes for a healthy and happy 2018 x
