Story

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation's research and I'd be so grateful for your support. 

I will be taking part in 20 events for 2020 to help beat heartbreak forever. Due to Covid-19 I have been busy amending lots of the challenges to be home based and virtual. The new list is below. 

My challenges are in aid of the British Heart Foundation in memory of my father-in-law Gerald Richardson and my two grandads Leslie Hutchinson and Henry Wright. They all passed away from cardiac arrests and I love and miss them all so very much. I also have various family members who have had heart problems over the years. Who wouldn’t be here had it not been for research until heart and circulatory diseases. Including my nanny, who over twenty years ago had a triple bypass operation. At nearly 94 years old she is very much still with us because of research. This charity means so much to me. I love what they do and what they represent. 

The money raised from this page will go directly towards the awe-inspiring work of the BHF. I want to see a day where no one loses someone suddenly from heart disease or circulatory problems. Every penny donated is crucial in funding their work. 

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!
