A WOMAN with cerebral palsy who is aiming to become the first female frame runner to complete the London Marathon said using the device has been “life-changing”.
On deciding to undertake the London Marathon, Dr McElroy, who is based in Glasgow, said: “My goodness, I didn’t really know what was ahead of me.” Having always been a physically active person who enjoyed hiking, swimming and cycling, she was eager to begin exercising again three years ago after her injury.
“Frame running is a brand new sport and I think some people will be captivated when they see it in the London Marathon. I can’t wait to see people reacting to it when I come to London.” “The longest I’ve been on that track at Victoria Park Athletics Club is three hours 20 minutes. That’s quite a lonely process but the reason that I’ve got by is probably my mentality, my motivation. I’ve always had that tenacity, people have always said that.”
