Glasgow Woman Aiming to Make History at London Marathon

That the Parliament congratulates Dr Julie McElroy, who is aiming to become the first female frame runner to complete the London Marathon, which takes place on 21 April 2024; understands that Dr McElroy was first introduced to frame running three years ago, following a traumatic injury that left her in chronic pain and using a wheelchair; notes that she has since taken on numerous challenges, including the Paisley 10k and the 22.6-mile Glasgow Kiltwalk; understands that, having always been a physically active person, who enjoyed hiking, swimming and cycling, she was eager to begin exercising again after her injury, and recognises that Dr McElroy is raising funds for the Richard Whitehead Foundation, which was founded by British athlete Richard Whitehead MBE, who runs with prosthetic legs.
