Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
There are a couple of reasons why I would like to raise as much as possible for the BHF. Firstly, my youngest daughter Sophie who is 3 years old had a routine ECG where a 'Delta Wave' was identified, this indicates a problem with the electrically conductive pathways through the heart and is linked to 'Wolff-Parkinson-White-Syndrome' and 'Sudden Death Syndrome,' although it is essentially asymptomatic, she may be suffering at times from a rapid heart rate and/or palpitations and her Cardiologist has indicated she will need an operation to correct it. In the meantime she will be hooked up to a monitor to keep a check on things.And then there's me, I have in the past 5 years stagnated on the fitness front, I peaked at 16st 12lb last year and was feeling the burden of that extra weight. With slowly deteriorating health I visited the Doctor who booked me in for an ECG and a 24 hour blood pressure monitor and advised that, if I didn't make significant changes to my lifestyle, I would inevitably end up on life-long medication.
Off Road cycling I have always enjoyed and this event is more than applicable to my current circumstances so I have summoned a team and we hope to raise as much as possible. Please give generously thank you
