Story

Thank you for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation and I'd be so grateful for your support. As a person who really does hate running…I’ve never run more than 5K.. this will definitely be a challenge for me but hopefully it’ll all be worthwhile being able to raise much needed funds for this amazing charity. 

Reasoning behind yet another moment of madness?! As many of you will know I suddenly lost my Dad 11 years ago from a cardiac arrest. Ever since, British Heart Foundation has been a charity close to my heart. CPR is so important and also the work and research that BHF do is amazing and can really help save lives. I’m pretty sure Dad would call me quite a few names if he was still around and doing this, but hopefully be even prouder of the achievement. 

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. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give whatever you can. It really is much appreciated and will help me through this crazy challenge I’m about to do! 

Thank you :) xxx
