Hello and thanks for visiting my page! Oh, and thanks also for that kind donation I see you are about to give!

Although heart disease remains the UK’s biggest killer, these numbers are falling fast, thanks largely to the amazing work carried out by the British Heart Foundation. 

Every year, money raised by the BHF funds thousands of research projects across the UK that are fighting back against cardiovascular disease - and amongst all those projects is my own PhD here in Edinburgh, which the BHF have generously funded over the last 4 years!

Now its time for me to give something back to the BHF, so I’ll be raising money (and my heart rate…) by running alongside fellow PhD students in the Glasgow Winter Warmer event this October.

No doubt many of your reading this will have known somebody affected by heart disease, so I hope you can find it in your hearts (sorry - had to be done!) and pockets to donate to our cause.

Every little helps!

Thanks very much for reading,

 

Rachel
