Victoria is the Founder and Chair of Burning Nights CRPS Support, a leading UK charity dedicated to raising awareness, providing support, and improving the lives of those impacted by Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS).

After being diagnosed with CRPS in 2004 following an accident at work, her leg gradually worsened to the point of ulcerations and irreversible skin breakdown from the knee to the toes. Victoria’s right leg was amputated above the knee. Sadly her CRPS story didn’t end there and a new incident in 2014 caused her CRPS to be re-triggered in her left leg. Unfortunately, after 9 months her left leg needed amputating above the knee, leaving her a full-time wheelchair and unable to use prosthetics.

Victoria turned her personal journey into a mission to support others. She established the charity to offer vital resources, advocacy, and hope to patients, families, and caregivers navigating the challenges of CRPS. Her dedication has made her a leading voice in the CRPS community and a passionate advocate for improved care and understanding.

Due to her charity work, she was awarded in June 2021 an MBE for Services to Charity, as well as other awards including Inspirational Woman of the Year 2023 for Female Entrepreneurs.
