Mr Joshi’s Half Marathon Moment!

Our Neuro Spinal Consultant, Mr Joshi, began his running journey in May 2025 after receiving some great advice from Diane on Reception. She encouraged him on how to get started—and once he did, he never looked back!

Since then, Mr Joshi has completed an impressive eight half marathons, achieving a personal best time of 2 hours and 10 minutes.

Most inspiring of all, Mr Joshi has recently raised approximately £8,500 for Cervical Cancer (in a 10k race in Regents Park London with a personal best of 56 minute in the middle of winter!) An incredible achievement and a fantastic cause. Mr Joshi wanted to thank his fellow consultants and staff at Woodland and Glendon Wood with the support.

Mr Joshi says he thoroughly enjoys running and would like to thank Diane for her advice, encouragement, and expertise in helping him take those first steps.
