Story

Thank you for visiting our page. We are raising money for The British Heart Foundation by running the London Marathon 2023!

Dad had a pace maker fitted in 1995 when he was only 42 and we feel eternally grateful for their on going research and support over the last 27 yrs which has meant Dad has been able to live a normal life which has mainly meant holidays, sport and beer of course 😂 In all seriousness, it was a scary time on that day many years ago when dad collapsed and The British Heart Foundation are a charity close to our hearts and we’d be so grateful for your support to help many more people who are living with heart conditions, from heart failure to irregular heart rhythm to congenital heart defects & circulatory conditions from stroke to vascular dementia.

Their work is life changing and life saving ❤️

I am very excited to be taking part in this amazing event for the first time and we would really appreciate your sponsorship no matter how big or small. 

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. Thank you so much xx
