Leamington charity chair crosses the finish line in first adult race
['Updated']
The Stratford Observer
PATIENTS at a Leamington health charity will be enjoying extra activities after their chair raised more than £900 in her first-ever adult race.
Caroline Wilson, now in her early 60s, completed a 5km race in Daventry on Sunday September 7 for Castel Froma Neuro Care.
She said: “This was my first race since school and it was both exhilarating and exhausting, but I was determined to cross the finishing line.
“I’m still not sure I’m runner material, and it took an organisation like Castel Froma to get me motivated to give it a try.
Many patients need months or years of rehabilitation before they move to more independent living, and so Castel Froma relies on grants and fund-raising to pay for extra activities and entertainment.
