Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On Sunday 6th April I am running the Paris Marathon to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

Anybody who knows me knows that I was incredibly active as a younger man and used to play sport and do running all the time, however over the last 8 years I have become incredibly lazy in regards this side of my life and prefer an active social life of good food and a few drinks with the boys. I have decided to push myself, relive a few past glory's and raise some much needed money for a great cause.

Why the British Heart Foundation? Well to put it quite simply my dad had a major heart scare about 6 years ago and forced him into early retirement. It is a disease that runs through his side of the family and something that I have been tested for. Not only has it affected me and my family but I also know a few good friends whose family have also been affected by this. 

The BHF is a fantastic charity that does so much to help people directly and indirectly that are affected by this. But they can't do it all without your help. So please dig deep and give generously!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
