Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Earlier this year, my family was shocked to the core after my dear Uncle, Antonino, was suddenly taken from us all. He was a wonderful, kind, caring, generous, loving, funny and brilliant man. He left behind a wife, daughter and grand-daughter far too early. There is an Antonino shaped hole left in this family that will never be filled. In is memory, I have chosen to run the London marathon for the British Heart Foundation.

Cardiovascular disease, is the most common cause of death in the United Kingdom. Affecting millions every year. 

The British Heart Foundation are the nations heart charity. They are trying to ensure that people, like my Uncle, aren't taken prematurely because of heart disease.

It is going to be a huge challenge for me to run the 26 miles, or 42 kilometers. I would have run it every day though, had it meant the British Heart Foundation would make a discovery and that my dear Uncle could be at my wedding next year.

Please, have a heart, dig as deep as you can, and in memory of this wonderful man, let's raise loads of money for this great charity, and try and put a hold on heart disease.

 

Thank you x
