Story

Dear friends,

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

I will be swimming the English Channel a total of 33Km (20.5 mile) over 12 weeks during my training sessions in the memory of my Grandad who passed away of heart disease before I was born. It  will be a great challenge for me, but I am committed to help as many people as possible who suffer from heart disease to give them hope by raising money for research, finding new ways of cure and to beat the heartbreak.

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. £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. Thanks!
