Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I’m raising money for the Marfan Trust, who undertake medical research into Marfan syndrome and supports those with the condition. In 2021, my partner (Tabitha) was blue-lighted to hospital due to sudden chest pain. After some scans, it was found she’d had an aortic dissection, and required emergency heart surgery. Tabs has since made a full recovery, with the cause of her heart issue identified as an underlying genetic condition: Marfan syndrome.

So, this cause is deeply personal to both me and Tabs, to raise awareness of the condition and fundraise for the trust in its vital efforts - advancing research and providing support to those living with Marfan’s.

Any donations would be greatly appreciated!
