Merger of the Society of Remedial Gymnastics and Recreational Therapy Ltd with The Chartered Society of Physiotherapy — Four years on
17-mile Charitv Run March The run took place On when the majoritv of us were still in bed Or browsing over the Sunday newspaper. Five physiotherapy students from the Middlesex Hospital ventured out into the rain with the intent of running around the perimeter of Bloomsbury Health Authority. The calculated distance was 17 miles, just a little further than the average Sunday morning jog! I am
pleased to report that all runners completed the miles. Furthermore, the charity to benefit was the Spinal Injuries Association for which €300was raised. Congratulations to all the runners, Shown here left to right: Chris Boynes, Pippa Cooke, Sarah Toomey, Chris Lee, Dave Bradley Written by Carol Adams, photo by Helen C,onyers
