Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation's research 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.
For a while I was having some problems getting out of breath and having chest pains while doing anything active and put it down to being a bit overweight. Going to the gym and being active and losing weight didnt seem to make any difference. Finally I visited my GP and long story short it was discovered I had 3 blocked arteries which resulted in 3 stents.
It has been hard work getting used to all the medications and their side effects but if it wasnt discovered I would have likely had a heart attack. I'm grateful for the chance to re assess my lifestyle and now I want to give something back to the Britsh Heart Foundation.
Thanks for your support!
