Story

Hi,

Thank you for sponsoring me in doing the York 10K....

After loosing my dad at only 4 to a heart attack I feel, after all these years of overcoming the grief of loosing such an important man in my life It is time to help others in raising money for such an important charity, trying to find a cure so other people don't have to suffer the loss of a family member like our family! 

To add to the heartache of loosing my dad, more recently, my mum also suffered at heart attack just days before Christmas this year which I felt was a repeat in history but the true fighter she is, she pulled through and has amazed us all (wanting to climb a mountain before she even left the hospital!) Luckily, I had the amazing support of an amazing step dad, sister, brothers, and partner to offer me support during a very upsetting time feeling like every day I went to see my mum may be the last, with endless cuddles and 'it's ok, she's in the right place' but it is very reassuring to know that with the money raised more research will be done as well as educating people what action to take should they think someone is having a heart attack!

Thankyou again.

My lovely sister in law to be Beth Falkous is joining me on the day, supporting me to raise money for this wonderful cause!!

If anybody wants to come see us crawling across the finish line in York feel free its 2nd August, I won't give a time...I may still be going at midnight! I feel next year I may just settle for the 'it's a knockout' fundraiser again...
