Story

Alright everyone, it's Jimmy Martin - long serving kit man of Everton FC!

As some of you may know, I had a heart attack while at work, and it was one of the toughest times of my life. But thanks to the incredible care and support from Heartbeat NWCC, I’ve made a full recovery. After attending Heartbeat, I’ve never looked back - it’s the best thing I’ve ever done. They helped me get back to normal, and I’ve made a lot of new friends along the way.

Now, I want to give something back to this incredible charity that has done so much for me. That’s why I’m walking 32 miles from Heartbeat to Goodison Park, weekend of 4th October. This walk is my way of saying thank you and helping them continue their life-saving work.

But there’s an urgent need this year - Heartbeat is facing financial struggles and really needs to raise £100,000 to get out of their deficit and continue supporting people like me. I’d be so grateful if you could donate and share this link.

Heartbeat truly is my charity, and your support means the world. Thank you!
