Story

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

I started running at the age of 49, I'm now 53. 

It has helped me so much over the past couple of year's, with lockdowns & covid, it's really kept me going! 

The main reason I'm doing this, is because I want to prove to myself & others that you can do anything you want if you have the right mindset. I want to be able to say "I did that, I ran a Marathon". I decided to run for British Heart Foundation in memory of my Dad, his life was cut very short at the age of 49! I'm hoping by doing this Marathon & raising money along the way, it will help others that need it. 


Please help if you can & thanks in advance for your generosity.
