Two Sport Rehabilitation students from The University of Nottingham have just completed their second year placement at Impact Physio. Part of their experience was to develop their skills in sports massage. 19 volunteers donated a fantastic total of £286 for a sports massage, not only giving the students valuable experience but supporting a great charity.

The run went great, but my god it was SO hot! I finished in 2:42, nowhere near my planned timed but in 27 degree heat I was pleased to finish! My dad met me at mile 8 for moral support and ended up running the last 5 miles with me to keep me going, people were
On Sunday 8th May I ran the Hackney Half for Cardiac Risk in the Young. Along with thousands of others I crossed the start line, hoping that I wouldn’t evaporate in the 26 degree heat. The course began at Hackney marshes and weaved in and out of the east London streets, each corner as packed out

We thoroughly enjoyed the day, enjoying a picnic afterwards and a nice chilled Prosecco to celebrate! I enjoyed the run despite it being very warm,
Uxbridge College students and staff played football non-stop for 24-hours, raising a massive £3,200 for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY). Players took part in a series of 5-aside matches starting at 11am and continuing all day and throughout the night – with some individuals on the pitch for 10-12 hours. Around 40 sports students took
We all finished the ride on Sunday after a gruelling 119 km and 5000 feet of hills, and we all crossed the finish line together making a bold statement with our kit on. We had great support during the ride from crowds of people who came out in force to support the cyclists. By the time
3 years ago, we lost a close friend to an undiagnosed heart condition, she was only 16. We decided we wanted to do something to raise money and awareness of the charity that could save the lives of many young people similar to her. We took part in Tough Mudder in April 2016, a 12-mile obstacle
