Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After thoroughly enjoying the experience of running the London Marathon last year I have decided to take on the challenge again and run the Edinburgh Marathon. It was only with all your support & generous donations that I was able to get round the course. Hopefully without an injury this time I will be able to cross the finish line in under 4 hours and raise lots of money for another very worthy cause; The British Heart Foundation (BHF).

Heart disease still kills more people than any other disease, and affects all ages from babies born with heart defects to the millions of adults affected by heart disease. The BHF is dedicated to saving lives through pioneering research, patient care and by providing vital information, support & education to those directly affected by heart disease. Working as a Paediatric Cardiac Physiologist I have 1st hand experience of how vital the work of the BHF is for our patients and it is only with your help & donations that we can continue to develop lifesaving procedures.

Through the tireless work of researchers and continued funding, hopefully very soon we will be able to uncover the mysteries that could help regenerate hearts, form new arteries and muscle, and ultimately beat heart disease. I would therefore be so grateful for any donation you can make, big or small, to this very worthy cause!

Thank you,
