Simon Stokes
Simon is a 33 year old chiropractor who lives in Egham. He has been running for a few years and enjoys running around the countryside. Otherwise he is at home enjoying cooking, woodwork and stopping his 2 rabbits (Barry and Iris) from eating everything in the house and garden!
Our Community fundraiser Wendy met Simon when unfortunately, she locked her back up and Simon did an amazing job helping Wendy to recover.
Whilst talking to Simon, Wendy mentioned Age UK Hillingdon, Harrow & Brent, the charity she works for, and Simon decided to take up the challenge to Run/Walk the Virtual London marathon on 3rd Oct 2021 to raise funds for Age UK HHB.
