Story

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation and I'd be so grateful for your support. 

As part of a team from Chester Road Club, we're aiming to cycle 60,000 miles in 2021 - the length of your circulatory system!

I'm riding in memory of a Colin Watson, a close friend and cycling companion. Colin died suddenly of acute heart failure whilst mountain biking with me in August 2021. He gave so much to those around him with his enthusiasm for the outdoors, and dedicated a great deal of his time to charities and causes in aid of a greener, more  just and sustainable world. 

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 you 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!
