In June 2008 I suffered a heart attack, followed immediately by a triple bypass operation, it is thanks to the skill and dedication of the of the doctors and nurses that treated me that I can live a healthy and active lifestyle now.

To repay some of the kindness that was shown to me I have decided to join one of the British Heart Foundations overseas challenges and raise money for the BHF.

In November I will be cycling approximately 425km across Vietnam and Cambodia to raise money for this very worthwhile cause. The support, training and research that they carry out is saving lives every day not only in this country but across the globe.
