Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As someone who lost their Dad to heart disease and with a husband that survived a rare heart condition its no wonder I want to fund raise for the British Heart Foundation.  It's been a few years since I completed the Great South Run for this great cause and I feel its time to up my game so have signed up to trek the Great Wall of China in October.

Whilst I'm sure this will be one of the most amazing things I've done, I'm certainly not expecting a holiday.  For starters I'll be following a 20 week training plan to prepare and once there I'll be trekking for 5 to 8 hours a day, climbing (and coming back down!) thousands of steps on mostly unrestored sections of the wall without even the promise of a hot shower!

On the subject of holidays I've funded the cost of this trip myself and that means all the money donated will go to the British Heart Foundation to help them turn their vision of a world where people don't die prematurely or suffer from heart disease into a reality.

Any donation you feel you can make will really be appreciated. 

Thanks, Lorraine.
