Ladies Luncheon 2013

News

17 May 2013

The LOROS Annual Ladies Luncheon took place at the King Power Stadium on Wednesday 15th May 2013 with guest speaker Claire Lomas.

Claire, who won our hearts back in April 2012 after completing the London Marathon in her robotic suit and has recently completed a 400-mile cycle challenge from Nottingham to London, was a marvellous and inspirational speaker at the event.

The ladies were enthralled by Claire’s brave story and her comparisons on life before and after her accident in May 2007.

Claire was also able to demonstrate her incredible 'robotic' suit which she wore for 17 days in order to complete the London Marathon back in 2012.

Laura Betts, LOROS Fundraiser said: “We are delighted that Claire was able to join us as our guest speaker at this event, she is a remarkable woman who has accomplished so much.  Her inspirational words combined with her wit and humility touched the hearts of everyone in the room."

Next year’s Ladies Luncheon will take place on Wednesday 14th May 2014 at King Power Stadium with the guest speaker to be announced. If you would like to attend this event please contact the LOROS fundraising department on (0116) 231 8431.
