In October 2018, Lata was hit by a speeding driver. After two operations, she is getting her life back on track. At the start of October, Lata ran the Brighton Half Marathon with her yoga friends, raising money for our vital work supporting road victims. Together, they have raised more than £2,000! Thank you and congratulations Lata, we are so grateful for your support. If you'd like to donate to Lata's fundraiser, visit https://ow.ly/zs7u50TPWwc
