Thank you for supporting my TCS London Marathon journey with the British Heart Foundation. With your donations, were raising money for one of the most exciting fields of research - regenerative medicine. We're aiming to fund breakthroughs and find cutting edge new treatments for people living with heart disease. 

On the 9th of February 2022 I was faced with one of the most traumatic situations of my life . I found my neighbour’s gardener slumped on the ground and not breathing . Knowing I had to act fast I dialled 999 and followed the operators instructions to give him CPR.

With a group of local residents we did all we could to try and give him a chance of life.

The emergency services arrived and temporarily managed with machines to keep him alive. Unfortunately he died from a heart attack.  He had a pre existing heart condition.

I wanted to give something back from this experience as I wanted to make a positive contribution.The work the British Heart Foundation does is making a difference for people who live with heart disease.

It’s a cause close to my heart as both my grandparents have heart conditions and a recently lost a dear neighbour to heart problems.

Please dig deep as this race will be phenomenally hard for me to complete. I do run, but I have never covered anywhere near this distance!  I will run this event determined to cross the finish line.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for supporting me and this worthy cause . Words cannot express my gratitude.

Sarah
