Firstly thank you for even getting this far.

Heart disease has always played a pretty big part in our lives –  our Dad has suffered from it for as long as we can remember. And because it’s hereditary, as kids we had to go for check-ups every now and again. And who was always there to take us? My Mum.

Being a bit older, we both now realise just how brilliant our Mum was at caring for us all. On top of continuing to work. And on top of looking after two very hyper-active young boys that needed constant reassurance about their Dad’s condition, she looked after him. Nursed him back to health. And still continues to nag him when he goes for a biscuit.

And for that reason, we're not just doing this for the sufferer’s like our Dad, we're doing this for all the people that help them pull through, just like my Mum. So please donate generously because The British Heart Foundation is just like one of those people.

It really does an amazing job.
