Story

Just over a year ago I collapsed on the tennis court with a Cardiac Arrest. I nearly died (technically I did), spent 25 days in hospital and after wonderful care left the Derriford Hospital with a defibrilator implanted in my shoulder.

While recuperating in Torquay the Torbay Half Marathon was being run. I decided then that it would be my goal to run it this year giving me a year to to build the fitness and strengthen the heart. It is part of life returning to normal.

I feel I need to support the Heart Foundation as they have have supported me and to say thank you, so any donations are gratefully received.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
