NHS team running for charity

A Spalding runner is among a group of NHS staff heading to London for a half marathon.
Philippa Ketteringham, a receptionist at Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust, will be running the London Landmarks half marathon on April 2.
The group of 11 will be raising money for the Lincolnshire NHS Charity. Each is aiming for £250 to fund projects to enhance services and facilities.
“In 2019, I had a miscarriage and lots of medical complications after that. It meant that I fell out of love with running as I was in a bad place mentally.
“I really wanted to do a half marathon before my 40th birthday, which is next year, so when I saw there was an opportunity to do it for the charity, I jumped at it,” said Philippa.
Runners from the Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust will join their colleagues for the event.
A fundraising page has been set up on the website justgiving.com, search for Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust.
“We are incredibly grateful to all 11 of our volunteers who we know will do us proud on the day,” said Jessica Armstrong, NHS Lincolnshire Charity Fundraising Assistant.
