Charlotte Walker

Charlotte say's this of herself...

I am currently a student at UWE studying Sports Therapy and Rehabilitation (Basically Physiotherapy but sports specific). Even though my degree states sports this is not solely where I would like to direct my career. I have a strong interest and passion for helping people who truly need it. Working within a special needs sector or the services is my goal.

I decided to run Dublin Marathon this year as I was seeking a new challenge. I don't see the point in running a marathon without raising money for a good cause, Its just a brilliant way to help. Every time I think of running a marathon, I think of how fortunate I am to have that choice of just getting up and walking or running. When I find 20 + mile long runs hard, I get through them by remembering how it is a blessing I am well enough to run them.

I was in the process of looking for a charity to raise money for when Ben told me about Abigail. After reading all about Abigail, I knew this was the right little girl to help.

Abigail may not be able to run a marathon but I shall do it for her. She will be my inspiration on every run and my determination to keep going even when it hurts. It's just a small price to pay for helping her.

The button below will allow you to donate to the cause and allow us to keep track of how much Charlotte has raised.
