In 2015 I was dared / cajoled / bullied in to taking part in the great north run - I was not a fit person at the time, but I trained and I practiced and I became what I thought was 'fit enough'. It turns out I wasn't. I got 11 miles in and suffered a cardiac arrest. I was lucky enough to collapse in front of a St John ambulance tent. If I hadn't had immediate and brilliant medical treatment I wouldn't be here today. They gave me defibrillation and saved my life. I'd like to raise enough money to allow them to buy another defibrillator.
