A man of my stature isn't made for running 26.21875 miles across London. He is designed to look over people’s fences, bang his head and change light bulbs. However, I will attempt to push my body through the gruelling challenge of the London Marathon for the BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION which is a very worthy charity who fund thousands of research projects fighting heart disease. 

I have set myself a target of £2,500 (every penny raised going directly to BHF) and I hope you can kindly propel me along to reaching this goal. I have a number of charity fundraising days planned standing outside supermarkets across London and Cambridge with my British Heart Foundation bucket. I am also hosting a pub quiz too (http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/funday-monday-marathon-pub-quiz-tickets-15926744321).

Why the British Heart Foundation...?

• Deaths from heart & circulatory disease remains the biggest killer in the UK.
  
• Almost 1 in 5 men and 1 in 8 women die from heart disease.
  
• Heart Disease is responsible for 82,000 deaths in the UK each year, an average of 224 people each day.
  
• Every year 1 in every 145 babies are born in the UK with a congenital heart defect.
  
• There are nearly 2.7 million people living with heart disease in the UK
  

We can all make a difference! So thank you so much for your donation - it really means a lot to me and the British Heart Foundation.
