Today I ran the Cambridge half marathon - my first since a blood clot stroke to the cerebellum 14 months ago that robbed me of my left-sided motor coordination and balance. It was learn to walk again, then run again, so well-chuffed at my progress.

Great to hear from Andrew Fairs of @FairkingLtd at the @nfum_StAlbans branch meeting on Tuesday night ✅
