After months of training huge congratulations to Will Jones for completing the London Marathon yesterday. His first time and completed in an amazing 4 hours 28. Will was very driven by the charities he was representing which included 45% of the amount raised going to the Centre and we are very grateful for his efforts.
We have recently opened oxygen up for Mondays and are looking to expand to another session. Anyone interested please speak to myself, Mike Waters or Tim Pett for more information. It would entail training with another operator at least once a week until they are happy with the operation of the chamber before becoming a second operator and eventually a first operator.
