Millie’s Double Marathon Challenges

Millie Rutherford, our amazing Rehabilitation Therapist has undertaken two major challenges  just a month apart to raise funds for The Brightwell.

The first event was on  12 April, Millie and her friend Amira Clarke  walked a marathon (26.2miles) from Ashton to Portishead Marina and back. Amira’s auntie Geraldine (Gel) has MS. 

They were really happy with the time they did, albeit it was  very hilly! Completed in an impressive 9 hours 12 minutes! Well done ladies!

The next event was the 10k Run as part of the Great Bristol Run Event on Sunday 11May.

This time Millie was joined by Lauren Iles one of our Physio Assistants and Amanda Rutherford, Millie’s lovely Mum.

Millie commented “ It was very hot and a lot of runners were struggling in the heat. Bizarrely, the three of us really enjoyed it. There was a great atmosphere and we were happy that we completed the run in good time”

far, it looks like Millie and her team mates will be raising £700 for The Brightwell.

Millie, Lauren and Stu Rutherford (Millie’s dad) will be running the Cardiff Half Marathon on 5 October for The Brightwell. 

A massive thank you from the Brightwell Community to everyone who took part!
