[6] Before 2007, Lomas worked as an event rider, producing and competing horses in Eye Kettleby, near Melton Mowbray in Leicestershire, United Kingdom.

[9] Despite the injuries that left her with paraplegia, her condition improved rapidly due to medical rehabilitation treatments and being active in sports (gym exercising, horse riding, skiing and swimming).

Lomas also credited the high level of support and understanding she received from her husband Dan and becoming a mother as she gave birth to her daughter Maisie in February 2011.

She finished the Marathon in 17 days using the ReWalk robotic suit that helps people with paraplegia walk standing in upright position, on 8 May.

[14] In August 2011, Lomas announced launching a semi-nude photography calendar starring renowned event riders from Britain as a method of fundraising for purchasing the £43,000 ReWalk suit.

[18] Donations for Spinal Research were gathered mostly online through the Just Giving UK website and reached £90,000 as she crossed the finish line, up to £143,000 five days later.

[citation needed] Her crossing the finish line at The Mall in central London was escorted by three mounted members of the Household Cavalry giving Lomas a guard of honour and she was awarded the Virgin Trophy by Holly Branson.

[23][24] She was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2017 New Year Honours for charitable and voluntary services to Spinal Injury Research.
