Story

I am running the 2024 London Marathon in order to raise money for HEART UK in memory of two of my uncles, Mark and David who both passed at a young age from heart related conditions.

This is a huge challenge for me, having little running experience and this being my first marathon. I also underwent major knee surgery in November 2022 following ACL, MCL and meniscus tears from a motocross injury.

A bit about HEART UK: Almost half of UK adults have raised cholesterol which can be a major factor towards heart disease. The funds I raise will help HEART UK to raise awareness of the dangers of high cholesterol throughout the UK; campaign for improved screening, identification, and treatment of people with raised cholesterol and help us support those diagnosed with either inherited or non-inherited high cholesterol and help reduce their risk of heart disease.
