Story

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

Last year Holly (my sis in law) and myself ran the GRN with Paul Durham (Holly's dad) last year. After running a 10k every day for 70 days, Paul then smashed the GNR with a sub 2hr target...however after the glory of this achievement our worst nightmare happened and Paul had a heart attack at the finish! Thankfully after an emergency operation and a long recovery Paul is run/walking the GNR in a Mickey Mouse costume- why wouldn't you!!!!   

Matt and I have never ran together before and we want to run it for this fab charity that indirectly has saved Pauls life. We want to enjoy a pint at the end with Holly, Penny and Paul and celebrate everyone's personal goals and good health.  

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. Thanks!
