Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

During the month of February 2021 my goal is to cover the equivalent distance of the South Downs Way between Winchester in Hampshire and Eastbourne in East Sussex. Current lockdown rules mean this has to be completed in my area, so each outing will choose a different mix of local pavements, footpaths and bridleways. The actual route also has some challenging gradients and I'll be building in some of those for good measure.

It's still winter and I'm sure to have a mix of weather conditions to contend with. It's likely to be wet, cold and blustery.  Knowing that I'm out there for a great cause will spur me on.

The Sussex Heart Charity has three core aims:

IMPROVE the care, treatment, resuscitation and rehabilitation of persons suffering from cardiac conditions with the overall aim to improve heart health for the people of Brighton & Hove, East Sussex and west Sussex

FINANCE projects, facilities, personnel or research through the cardiac services provided by Sussex hospitals

SUPPORT community projects for the education, care, treatment, resuscitation and rehabilitation of people living in Brighton & Hove, East Sussex and West Sussex

My dream fundraising target is to raise enough money to cover the purchase of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). This is a life-saving device used to help those experiencing sudden cardiac arrest. Your kind support can help turn that into a reality.
