Laura's story......

In 2016 I was diagnosed Dilated Cardiomyopathy. At first this was a scary and anxious time for both myself and my family. I had never heard of this before and there was not a huge amount of information that was up to date about what Cardiomyopathy is and the effects it can have on your body.

This is where I had support from Cardiomyopathy UK. Cardiomyopathy Uk provides support and information to people at a potentially stressful time in their lives. They also offer ongoing support through support groups, these groups are volunteer lead.  Personally, the Sheffield support group has introduced me to some amazing people that have helped me.

I am planning to climb Mt Snowden on August 20th this year. Snowdon is the highest mountain in Wales. I will be doing this this family challenge with my husband and two boys, Finn age 5 & Aaron age 7 (and hoping to keep up with them).

I am hoping to be able to give something back by raising money and awareness for this charity.

All money raised will be donated to Cardiomyopathy UK to enable them to continue this vital service for people.
