RUN to GEE- A Shoestring Success

Almost a year ago now a group of incredibly inspired people put together an event called ‘RUN to GEE’ to show their support of Emma and to raise money to help other rehab patients and health professionals at Royal Talbot Rehabilitation Centre.

The day was a HUGE success…

              we had people ran who had never ran before…

                                people hitting the RUN to GEE paths in wheelchairs…

         Royal Talbot patients sitting along the finish line supporting…

Dogs and puppies galore…

                                     Prizes….

                                                 a sausage sizzle….

                                we had it all!

and not only did it tie a lot of people (friends, family, doctors, colleagues, patients) together in Emma’s world…it highlighted what is possible when we all put our heads together and take that extra step to help eachother out! 

Check out this blog for photos of the day….and see what Emma purchased for Royal Talbot with the funds raised! Perhaps even some people who have benefitted from the equipment can let us know how it’s changed their rehab experience!
