Story

Hurtling towards the ripe old age of 40 this year and decided it was time to break my marathon duck! So what better place to start than London in April. I'm by no means a runner and just getting through the training to reach the start line will be a challenge in itself.

Like many others I've lost a family member to heart related illness and the work the BHF do is hugely important. I'm looking forward to receiving your support and raising lots of money for BHF, an amazing charity and partner for Puregym.

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!
