Story

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

When I was 21 years old my beautiful Mum Jacqueline unexpectedly passed away of a heart attack on holiday. Our Mum’s passing left me, my brother and sister devastated & heartbroken. I am pushing myself beyond any expected fitness level to to run my first marathon in memory of our Mummy T  & to raise funds for a fantastic charity, the BHF. If my Mum had been checked and aware of the resources out there maybe our situation would be different. If I can change even one persons health and awareness then my efforts are beyond worth it.

I am not a natural or born runner so please believe me the training is a real struggle….oh and did I mention I gave birth to my beautiful daughter Sienna Jacqueline only 14 months ago. So come on lovely people please dig deep and donate to this incredible cause. My plan is to run the entire marathon (yikes!) & have started my training 26 weeks out. At the start of September I couldn’t run 3KM however each week my plan is structured and I am improving, keep an eye on my progress via Strava fitness app (search Nicola Tilley). 

Thank you for your support & please donate what you can. Nicola xxx
