Story

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation's research and I'd be so grateful for your support.

I will be running 6 marathons in 6 months. London, Edinburgh, Halifax, Fort William, York and New York.  I have never ran a marathon before and only took up running 18 months ago.

I am running in memory of my mum who sadly passed away last year.  My first marathon in London will be on the first anniversary of her death.  I want to raise funds to help others survive heart disease as well as provide a tribute to an amazing mum.

The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target. Thanks!
