Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

The Newcastle Stampede is a 9 - 10K cross-country challenge which will push me to the limit. 

Obstacles will be confirmed obstacles soon, but you I can expect to face tough challenges like The ODFC Water Wipeout, Jail Break Maze and The Gladiator Gauntlet alongside old favourites such as Sheep Dip Valley, Haybail Hurdle and The Water Run, see the attached video for last years Stampede.

I WILL GET WET AND MUDDY!!

Heart disease touches us all. Every year, thousands die prematurely, and those who survive can find life difficult and frightening. The British Heart Foundation is dedicated to research aimed at ending the suffering caused by heart disease. We are funding some really exciting projects at the moment, such as a device to help babies born with a heart defect. 

£2 – Helps 10 children get more physically active

£2 could provide 10 children aged 7-11 with their own Let’s get active award pocket planner. This popular resource encourages them to get into the habit of doing at least 60 minutes of activity a day to help their heart health and rewards them with a certificate.

£30 - Heartstart Schools training pack

Our Heartstart schools training pack provides teachers with a specialised Emergency Life Support (ELS) skills package to teach children what to do in a life-threatening emergency.

£50 – Help fund vital lab work

Researchers regularly need to measure the levels of specific biological factors in tissue or blood samples. One assay kit, to measure the level of a specific factor in a series of samples costs at least £50.

£124 – Fund a resuscitation training manikin

£124 could fund the cost of a Little Anne manikin, a realistic adult manikin used when training people in performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Performing CPR buys timeand more than doubles the chances of survival for someone following a cardiac arrest.

£100,000 – Fund a PhD student

£100,000 could fund a PhD student’s pay and experimental costs for three years: the BHF supports over 200 young scientists and clinicians across the UK in this way to start their career in cardiovascular research.

The BHF provides over 50% of all UK cardiovascular research funding.
