In the early hours of 15.07.19 Alan Warrington suffered an out of hospital cardiac arrest. Due to the life saving intervention by Joanne Johnstone, the speedy ambulance attendance, quick intervention by the attending paramedics and wonderful care in the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, Alan has made an amazing and life fulfilling recovery. Alan was really fortunate to have received help in time and we hope that our walk linking the most westerly and easterly points of England can raise awareness of how important it is to help those suffering with a cardiac arrest.

Alan has always enjoyed the outdoors throughout his life, and in particular has enjoyed running and walking and long distance walking. He has walked the length of each of the 19 national trails in the United Kingdom, and has backpacked many other trails including the Dales High Way, Stanza Stones Trail and the White Horse Trail to name just a few.

Exactly four years after that life changing day, Alan and his friend David Morgan will leave Lands End and embark on a month long adventure. Their walk, called the "End Point Walk", will see them walk 580 miles across southern England and finish at Ness Point in Suffolk. They will be raising money for the British Heart Foundation, a charity that funds so much research into heart and circulatory diseases in the UK. The British Heart Foundation focusses their efforts on accelerating discovery and turning discoveries into life-saving medical advances.

Alan and David know that financially times are tight but ask that if anyone wishes to support their fund-raising activity to donate as much as people can afford to help fund the work that the British Heart Foundation does. David and Alan recognise that you might not be able to afford to help at the moment, if so perhaps you could share the fundraising page.
