My name is Martin ball and I had a heart attack on June 19th 2017. The heart attack nearly took My life. I was taken to the Lister hospial and then was kept there for 10 days. I was then transferred to the Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea. I then had a triple bypass. During the 5 weeks I spent there I had complications which caused me to have fluid around my heart which then had to be removed. Seven months after the recovery has been a mental and physical challenge for me and the family. I have decided to do this fun run because without these hospitals I wouldn't be here today. The royal brompton saved my life and I want to give back to them and raise awareness for this cause, especially going through it myself.
I would love people to also come down on the 16th June 2018 to the red cow Windmill lane to see not only me but others who are doing the fun 10k run! There will face painting, music, food, and more on that day! It will be a year coming up since my heart attack and I would love to see you all there when I'm on the start line.
I would really love for you to donate as much as you can. Even if it's a pound it all counts. Thank you for everyone for supporting me and continuing to support me and a Huge thank you for the sponsors and donators already!
LET'S DO THIS!
