Hobbies
Sophie enjoys running, she ran the Great North Run in October 2008. She has also completed four other marathons including the London Marathon.
In 2008, she raised thousands of dollars for St. George’s Hospital to help purchase new neonatal equipment. She stated to the NHS Foundation Trust, “When I visited the neonatal unit this summer, it made me realize just how lucky I’ve been to have three big and healthy babies. The money I’ve raised will buy medical equipment, like an incubator, which they desperately need.”
Sophie’s passion for running and charity raising has led her to many sponsorships for her runs. She hopes to run many more marathons in the future to support her charities. She claims this has become her addiction on a You & Your’s BBC Radio 4 broadcast.
