Q&A WITH MARATHON RUNNER ROSIE
When our Head of Brand and Marketing decided to put her best foot forward and run the London Marathon, Rosie was in no doubt that the money she raised would go to a cause she knows and loves – NHS Charities Together. Here she shares her motivation for taking on this huge challenge. “I really enjoy running but usually it’s just a slow plod! I’d never ran a marathon before, so 26 miles was going to be a massive challenge! My inspiration was knowing first-hand just what a wonderful cause this is. The NHS has been a consistent, reassuring presence throughout my life – from bringing my siblings into the world safely, to caring for my granddad with compassion in his final few weeks and supporting me – and many others – with my mental health.” WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO TAKE ON THE LONDON MARATHON?

WHAT CHALLENGES DID YOU FACE?
“Training took over my life for four months, but knowing I was helping to support our amazing NHS kept me going, as I prepared for the big day.”

HOW DID YOU FEEL AFTERWARDS?
“It was really tough, mentally and physically, but the atmosphere on the day was incredible and I felt such a sense of achievement.”
“I’ve raised £2,553 for NHS Charities Together so far, exceeding my target of £2,000. The NHS is a national treasure and knowing that I’m playing a part in ensuring our healthcare system is the best it can be makes me so proud.” HOW MUCH DID YOU RAISE?
