It’s been a journey…
Lacing up again — for the first time in 3 years 🏃♂️💜
In 2020, I tore my ACL and meniscus, fractured my tibia, and it sent me into a dark place. Running had been my life. After surgery and two years of determined rehab, it felt too painful — physically and mentally. I gave up, threw my running watch in a drawer, and drifted from the running community.
I turned to yoga, became a teacher, and found a new tribe. But deep down, I missed running. Eventually, I wasn’t sure if it would still hurt — but I didn’t dare to try.
This weekend, I’m facing that fear and running 10km at the Great Manchester Run.
I’m doing it for @kidneysforlife, a brilliant local charity that supported my kidney research and helps the patients I care for every day. Their encouragement over the years has meant more than they know.
If you’re able to donate, I’d be so grateful. Every contribution supports life-changing kidney research.

Wow what an incredible journey. Very inspiring to read of how you overcame your injuries and trials which came with them. Ultimate respect Sir on how you have handled it. I believe if we can appreciate our darkest of times and walk through the fire we come out of the other side forged in strength, and with a better perspective of life. Which appears to be your case. Love that! You are a warrior @ags.odudu 🤍👏🏻🙌🏻🫡
