An East Cheshire NHS Trust worker is lacing up her running shoes for the Altra 13 Valleys Ultra Half Marathon.
Karolina Stepien-Bialy will be raising funds for East Cheshire NHS Charity as she clocks up the miles across the Lake District at the end of this month.
Ms Stepien-Bialy, the medical workforce productivity lead at East Cheshire NHS Trust, said: “I will again be launching myself out of my comfort zone and straight into the pain cave, all in the name of charity.
“Last year, I ran the Manchester Great Run for the charity. This year, I’ve apparently decided that wasn’t traumatic enough, so I’m cranking up the mileage and taking on a half marathon … in the Lake District. Yes, the hilly bit of England!”
She added: “East Cheshire NHS Charity is a brilliant local charity working hand-in-hand with East Cheshire NHS Trust, and it would be wonderful if people could donate, even the tiniest amount.
“It will mean the world to me, especially because anyone who knows me knows that running is my least favourite pastime!”
