Just after Christmas 2024 we lost our running inspiration - Micky Ball.

As always, Micky did not want a fuss about himself. So, rather than flowers, we are asking for donations for charities that were dear to his heart; the Royal National Lifeboat Institution and British Heart Foundation (BHF).

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!
