Huge congratulations to Megan Hall who completed this years Great South Run, in aid of Smile4Wessex, in an impressive 01:51:52!
In January 2017 Megan's Mum suffered a subarachnoid haemorrhage and was admitted to the Wessex Neurological Centre, where she spent three months, including time in the Neuro ICU unit. Megan has chosen to take on this challenge as a thank you for the care her mum received there.
"The care she received there was second to none, and she continues to receive exceptional follow-up care from the amazing team at Wessex. Thankfully, my Mum survived, but she has been left with disabilities and cognitive challenges. Mum started from scratch and had to learn to walk again and also learn to live a new way of life. The last 8 years have been incredibly tough. I am so grateful for the care provided by Wessex and want to give back in any way I can."
Megan ran alongside her friend Rachael who was running to raise funds for Rowans Hospice, and the pair braved pretty awful weather conditions for their first Great South Run on Sunday 19th October.
We'd like to thank Megan for taking on this challenge and for choosing to support Smile4Wessex and the Wessex Neurological Centre.
