Maria London 10km

I'm a veteran of the British Army who was injured during service.
I am passionate at pushing the boundaries of my disabilities and really want to ensure that no matter what the challenge I set for myself, that I give my all and set a good example.
Being disabled I spent many years following and not challenging medical advice. However I have found that setting challenges no matter how big or small the benefits outweigh the discomfort in the long term.
I am not the fastest but I will start and finish this course with determination and a smile.
Please help me fundraise Sporting Force. An Armed Forces Sports Charity that enables veterans like myself to set goals, train and surpass them.
My goals when I first joined Sporting Force 3 years ago was to:

1. Rebuild my confidence and return to the workforce as a full time project manager.
2. Manage my diagnosed PTSD.
3. Begin to engage with sports that will develop strength and cardio fitness within the boundaries of my physical Spinal and nerve damage.

The first two I have achieved and the 3rd goal I am still working on.

The London 10km will be my first in 24 years and I have with my coach set a plan to complete this as a fartlek which is periods of running and periods of walking...
