Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

As a Trustee on the Board of HRUK, I have seen first hand the amazing work which is done in supporting research and education. Having completed a virtual "Swim the Channel" already, I was looking for another challenge and with winter and the pandemic here, this was a great idea. "Lejog" is a virtual walk from Lands End to John O' Groats, 1083.8 miles. I hope to raise that mileage in £ money. I will complete this in less than a year,  (minimum 3 miles per day). Cardiology is very close to my own heart as I have worked in Cardiology as a physiologist for 45 years in Yorkshire, having started work at the now closed Killingbeck Hospital in Leeds. Then 3 years ago I was diagnosed with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. I was very breathless and struggled walking uphill and any distance, but now on medication and an increased exercise programme, my fitness level has really improved. Both my parents had heart disease and I know so many  families are affected, both adults and children alike. I do hope that you will support me and thank you so much for your donation.
