Our Chairman, Paul Tabor, will be undergoing a major operation to reconstruct his leg tomorrow (Thursday Aug 29th).
As many of you know Paul contracted an infection shortly after returning from China. We don't know if the infection came from China, but it has seriously damaged the muscles and bone in his leg. After several operations to remove infected material, his leg broke whilst in hospital and needs to be reconstructed by inserting a titanium rod into the bone.
Paul is in good spirits in the Royal London Hospital but pining to get out and start running again.
We wish you well, Paul and hope the operation is a great success.
We'll all be here to help you recuperate as soon as you come out of hospital.
