Story

Welcome to my Just Giving fundraising page! I am running the 2023 Scottish Half Marathon for British Heart Foundation in order to raise as much money as possible. 

Last October, I was unfortunate to have had   pericarditis and pneumonia which taught me how precious life is. After four months of recovery, I decided to get myself back to perfect heath by running again and setting myself the challenge of running a half marathon. 

The British Heart Foundation are a fantastic charity  and I would be so grateful if you could take the time to sponsor me. I would like to pay tribute to my brother in laws, John Brown and Douglas Millar, who have both survived heart attacks. My mother, Dorothy Mellis, who struggles daily with a valve insufficiency ❤️‍🩹 and to remember those who sadly passed away due to heart conditions, my father in law, John Harkins, Netta Carlin, and Ali Dickson. 💔

Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.

I would also like to thank my husband, Chris, and our four boys, Connor, Kyle, Carter and Christopher,  who have supported me throughout my recovery and marathon training ❤️
