A Cheshire woman lost ten stones and then took part in a marathon.
Vicky Taylor was referred to the referral program exercise program with Cheshire Change Hub in January 2020.
When she began her fitness journey, Vicky could only cover two and a half miles on the treadmill.
Just a year later, she improved her physical and mental health and completed a half and a full marathon.

Vicky hopes to keep losing extra weight on top of the 10 pounds she has already lost and hopes to do more marathons in the future.
She said, “I run a lot easier and my life has changed for the better. I am very grateful for all of the continued support I have received from the Cheshire Change Hub and the gym.”
