Story

Hello, thank you for visiting our fundraising page!

We (Amy, Tom, and Mikey) are running the 2025 London Marathon together in aid of HEART UK, the UK’s only cholesterol charity.

We are so lucky to be representing such a brilliant charity. Almost half of UK adults have raised cholesterol which can lead to heart disease, and the funds which we are hoping to raise will help raise awareness of the dangers of high cholesterol and support those recovering from related illnesses.

On top of that, those who know us well will understand the personal link we have to this charity too. When our Dad was ill a few years ago, the advice from HEART UK played a big part in getting him back to full health. We are delighted to be running for HEART UK, in part to thank them for their advice and support in our experience, but also to make sure that they can keep delivering the same service to many more families who are sadly impacted by cholesterol and heart disease.

The enormity of the task in front of us is not lost on us. Although 4XV rugby (unbeaten 16/17) does not scream sporting pedigree, we will be running with smiles on our faces knowing we are doing it together for a worthy cause.

And if we didn’t have enough reason already, Tom and Mikey will be turning 26 years old while running the 26 miles. Hopefully it will be a birthday to remember!

Thank you so much for donating, you can keep track of our progress on our linked Strava accounts!

Tom, Mikey, and Amy.
