Inspired by a visit from the BHF CEO Dr Charmaine Griffiths, I am running the Cardiff Junior Half 2022 to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. 

My heart has a 'glitch' that is changing as I grow and it means that I will need an operation to fix it. I run to keep my heart healthy and happy.  I want to help all the heart doctors learn new ways to fix broken hearts and be the best that they can be in helping children like me. 

Meeting the team of the British Heart Foundation and Mr Hearty has made me feel part of a huge family and I want to always do my best to help them. 

My aim is to raise £100 for every year that I have been looked after by Cardiologists.  Having already raised £900 this year, I am so close to my £1000 target in time for my 10th birthday! Just £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so If you can spare a little change, please donate to this very worthy cause and I promise to use your kind words and gestures to motivate me to keep running even when things get tough!
