Story

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation in memory of my Mum and I'd be so grateful for your support.

I told my mum I was thinking of doing the Marathon and she said she would be there at the finish line so I signed up. Unfortunately 4 weeks into my training she suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away 11 days later. This stalled my training for a few months but I have been training hard and I am determined to finish this marathon for my Mum.

Any sponsor, even a £1, would be so gratefully received.

The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target. Thanks!
