Member of the Month
Inspiring member runs 5k less than two years after major foot surgery
Julie Adamson joined us via our GP referral programme Active Forever in 2024, following major foot surgery.
After being diagnosed with bilateral tibial tendon dysfunction, she was referred for a tendon transplant operation in 2023.
Surgery left her unable to walk and in a wheelchair for six months, but through determination and her non-defeatist attitude, she’s made a marvellous recovery.
The power-assisted equipment in the Wellness Hub at Grimsby Health & Wellbeing Centre helped her to reintroduce gentle exercise and she’s now been able to progress into the main gym there.
Fitness Instructor Jody Cass recommended a couch to 5k plan for Julie, and she’s recently ran her first Park Run!
This Sunday, she’ll also be running the Race for Life in memory of her late dad – we wish you all the very best of luck Julie.
