Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As most of you will know, back in 2017 I was diagnosed with Dilated CardioMyopathy - A condition that means my left ventricle is too weak to do a full open and close when trying to pump, meaning my heart had to work twice as hard as most and increasing my risk in heart attacks, strokes and death. Not ideal, but we're working forward.

When diagnosed, my pump fraction was around 40%, with normal being around 55%. Since the diagnosis I have tried a number of things, including overhauling my nutritional and lifestyle changes and I have seen my pump fraction increase to 50%. Amazing news, but I am not out of the woods, yet...

Anyway, there are a ton of people far less fortunate than myself and I would like to spread awareness of C-R-Y and the fantastic work they do to try and catch these conditions before it's too late. Their work is funded by the incredibly kind donations from the public and this is where i'd like your support. Every penny, every pound can help save and change a life.

You know me, I don't ask for support without laying down the gauntlet... 

This year I am doing the following events;

January 6th - Stoke Stampede 10k running event

March 17th - Bath Half Marathon

April 14th - Exmoor Beauty (115km/72 miles cycling sportive)

June 9th - Dragon Ride (223km/139 miles cycling sportive)
