Story

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

Heart disease will touch most of us either directly or indirectly through close family and friends or directly through illness. This was sadly the case with my own family when we lost my Grandad in 2020 and I have decided it is time to run in his memory and to aid this very important cause. This is my first marathon so should be quite a challenge, but your support would mean so much to push me on to completing it. I will update the page with my progress (slow I am sure)!

Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks in advance for your support! 🙂
