A massive, massive congratulations to our very own Tanya for completing The London Marathon on Sunday for her chosen charity Muscular Dystrophy UK!
Sunday 23rd April marked the big day for 50,000 people who had been training for the London Marathon, 1 of those 50,000 included our very own Tanya Unit, Assistant Operation’s Manager here at St Wulfstan Surgery.
Tanya chose to raise money for charity Muscular Dystrophy UK, a charity very close to the hearts of the St Wulfstan family, having heard about the charity from friend and colleague, Julie Davies, who’s son, Rhys, lives with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Tanya quoted:
“Their family is inspiring, they are so positive.
It has been a roller-coaster of emotions. I have met some amazing people on this journey. It really has shown the generosity of people.”
Tanya had been hard at work training for the London Marathon, and her dedication has paid off. In addition to completing a gruelling 24-hour bikeathon, she also organised a successful charity race night and auction, raising an impressive £7000 and counting.
Tanya completed the London Marathon in an amazing 5 hours 17 minutes, pushing through mental and physical barriers she didn’t even know existed! To top it off, she turned up at work 9am Monday morning!
Well done Tanya, we are all so proud of you!
You can still donate to Tanya’s JustGiving page, it’s not too late!
