Thanks for taking the time to visit my page to raise money for the British Heart Foundation.

I have never been a runner (even though my parents insisted for me to take part in cross country at school), I am not built like a runner, however last year I started doing the Coventry Parkrun 5km and have kind of become hooked on running since! I am doing a 10km in May, then have decided to set myself a challenge and complete the Great North Run in September.

I am running for the British Heart Foundation. You may or may not know that in 2009 I had heart surgery to cure my Supraventricular Tachychardia (AV Nodal Re-Entrant Tachychardia). Although not a life threatening illness it was very scary time for all of us, particuarly because I was rather young to have a heart problem.

I am therefore raising money for the British Heart Foundation as it is very close to my heart (quite literally) and I feel that this is an extremely worthwhile cause and one which I want to be involved with.

I have never done anthing like this before; running long distances and raising a large amount for charity, so I really hope you can sponsor me and anything, however small will be greatly appreciated. Also if any of you have any training tips they would be appreciated too!
