This year I am running the Edinburgh Half Marathon on the 27th of May and the Great North Run on the 16th of September and raising money for the British Heart Foundation.

My family have recently become more aware of the valuable work of this charity. In particular their great advice and guidance into how to maintain a healthy heart and the valuable research they conduct into treatments for heart problems.

British Heart Foundation mission is to create: "a world where people no longer die prematurely from heart disease"

I have chosen to run for the British Heart Foundation because;

* They conduct and fund pioneering research into the causes of heart disease and improved methods of diagnosis and treatment

* They promote and provide advice and guidance into how to maintain a healthy heart through diet, exercise and the awareness of dangers caused by smoking,drinking and high blood pressure

* Promotion of life saving skills through training classes and ad campaigns

* They provide and campaign for cardiac rehabilitation after heart surgery
