Story

Hey guys,

I'll be taking on the London Marathon this year in memory of my dad, who died suddenly of a heart attack in 2017. I am running for British Heart Foundation with the aim of raising awareness for the great work they do. Any donation, however small, will have a huge impact and will be greatly appreciated.

The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target. 

Wish me luck!

Thanks very much,

Ben x
