Story

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation and I'd be so grateful for your support. I lost my wonderful husband Alan too soon at the age of 52 to a heart attack. In January, I shall reach that same age so I felt like I would like to do something in his memory whilst raising money in the hope that I can save at least one person from going through the heartache that me and my children endured. Any money you would like to give will make a huge difference to the work of the British Heart Foundation. 

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!
