Rosie's 10K challenge for Pumpkin and Friends

Inspirational runner, Rosie Damarell has entered the City of Lincoln 10K to focus on post injury and is using a charity close to her heart to motivate her along the way.

“In September 2022 I fully ruptured my Achilles tendon and severed the nerves in my foot. I have spent the last 12 months learning to walk again and going through a lot of sports rehab and now I am determined to run again...and for what better reason than to raise money for an incredible local charity helping disabled animals.

Rosie is raising money for Pumpkin and Friends, who provide life changing support, care and equipment for disabled animals and is sharing her training on her social channels to keep her accountable.

“I don't know how long it will take me to get around the course, but the pain I will endure is nothing compared to the reward of knowing it could give an animal a new lease of life by being provided with wheels!

Raising £200 would buy a wheelchair for a small to medium sized dog, to be able to fund this would be incredible and every donation will make a difference to try and get to my target.”

Good luck Rosie, we can’t wait to cheer you across the finish line! To support Rosie on her fundraising journey, click here https://www.justgiving.com/page/rosie-damarell-1696864875215
