Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

In April 2017 I will be running the Virgin London Marathon for the British Heart Foundation (BHF). Ashamedly, it's a charity I had never paid much attention to before because, naively, I never thought it would ever effect me. But all this changed in May this year (2016) when my mother tragically died as a result of heart disease. Her loss was brutally sudden and totally unexpected. Our family will never be the same again.

This fundraising challenge is an opportunity for me to turn this experience into something more positive. And so, this page is dedicated to the memory of my mother. 

I know that some of you reading this will have also suffered the loss of someone dear as a result of heart disease. To raise more awareness about the important work the BHF do I would like to encourage you to visit the following link:

If you feel inspired to donate please do so. I know some of you regularly give (generously) to charity so I hope I can convince you to give to the BFH this year, if nothing else to help a friend reach his target of £3000. 

You're almost done. Satisfaction is just a few clicks away! ;-)
