<p>Hi!<br><br>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>On the 27th May I will be running the Sheffield half marathon for Keep The Beat - a charity that provides hope and support for families affected by congenital heart defects. I chose this charity as it has a particular focus on Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome -&nbsp;a rare <a title="Congenital heart defect" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_heart_defect"><span style="color: #0645ad;">congenital heart defect</span></a> in which the left ventricle of the heart&nbsp;is severely underdeveloped requiring&nbsp;extended stays in hospital including 3 major operations over the course of a person's life time.<br><br>As some of you know my nephew&nbsp;was diagnosed with HLHS when he was 5 days old&nbsp;so&nbsp;I have been able to see first hand exactly how a charity such as this can make a difference to people's lives.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please make a donation no matter how big or small - every little helps and will be greatly appreciated!</p> <p>Thaaaanks! : )</p>
