Hello!

Thank you for visiting my Just Giving Page. I have set up the page as my sister and I (Beth) are running the 2022 London Marathon for the British Heart Foundation and hope to raise £5500 between us, to help support research into cardiovascular disease. 

Last year, we lost our Grandad (Pa) to heart disease. For as long as I can remember, he was living with heart disease and suffering from all of the consequences. There was no cure, just things they could do that could try and make it better, but towards the end, his quality of life was  gone. 

My Grandad was a character....and if he knew we were running the Marathon the first thing he'd say would be "I could run it faster than both of you."  He'd also be the first at the finish line to tell us how we could improve next time.... 

I love sport/fitness but absolute hate running or any form of cardio, so this is going to be a huge challenge for me. I'm actually setting up this page now just to procrastinate going for my first run, so that's how well the training is currently going....

We really appreciate any donations you can spare and, to try and motivate me I will double any donations I receive by the end of April if I don't complete the marathon in under 3hr 50mins. 

Thank you!

The race is on to heal hearts together. Donations to my page will be sent directly to the British Heart Foundation in a fast and secure way.
