Call for physios to run for BackCare

Charity BackCare has issued the challenge to teams from the four professions to prove they are both the quickest runners and have the best fundraising skills, by taking part in this April’s race.

BackCare has secured 10 places in the marathon for each profession, for runners who can guarantee to raise at least £1,500.

Lisa Roberts, a consultant physiotherapist and trustee of the charity, said: ‘Physios claim to be number one at treating back pain. Now is our chance to prove it.’

Anyone interested in taking part should email helen.horton@backcare.org.uk or call the charity on 020 8977 5474.

Runners need to supply their details by 7 February.
