We are running this event to raise as many pennies as possible for a charity that means a lot to us

(Emma) 18 months ago my step dad suffered a heart attack, resulting in a triple heart bypass and recently a pace maker. He is regularly attending numerous medical appointments due to difficulties in controlling a stable heart beat. The next option was a heart transplant, however we have just found out that due to the condition of his heart this is no longer an option and he would not survive the operation. He is now waiting to start his Hospice Care.

6 weeks ago, my Dad had a heart attack whilst at work. He was rushed into hospital, and is now under going Cardiac Rehabilitation and taking medication on a daily basis. 1 week ago he again suffered another incident and again was rushed into hospital. He is now home and resting well

Both my Dad and Step Dad mean the world to me and are always there for us. If pushing ourselves to our limits to get fit in 12 weeks means that we can raise a little bit of money for this amazing charity then it is definitely worth it.
