On the 18 of August last year I updated my Facebook status with,"Trevor Ford has just woke up from heart surgery....which is nice". It was nice and after nearly a year it now feels fantastic! Now its time for me to ask you guys to help me.

5 months after I had a mini stroke or a Transient Ischemic Attack(TIA) that was caused by a blood clot that passed through a hole in my dodgy ticker I ran the Chris Hoy Edinburgh Half Maraithon. I did this for the Stroke Assosisation in a time of 1 hour 52 minutes and raised £350.

I then went through brain and heart scans. I was then informed that I had a Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) or hole in my heart. It is from birth when a flap of skin inside the heart doesn't close properly. On the 18th August 2010 I was operated on and the hole was closed.

Now I'm running the Robin Hood Half Maraithon in Nottingham for the British Heart Foundation (BHF). They help discover new technolagy to help people with heart problems and support people like me both pre/post surgery.

So please dig deep and help the BHF help mend someone's heart.
