Story

HELLO!!

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I know at this time of year you will probably recieve a lot of these requests to donate your money but they are for a good reason.

My reason for doing this race as most of you know is because my Dad died from a heart condition and I want heart research and the BHF to continue to help families in the same situation that I was in and to help prevent the lose of loved ones before their time. My Dad is a constant source of motivation for me as he was so strong in his weakest moments. This race will be hard but it is so worth it.

I'm actually pushing myself on this race as I want to complete it in 90 minutes. I'm not exactly what you call a runner but i'll be trying my best to hit that target.

Hopefully you will be able to help me reach my target of £500..........Ideally i would like more!!  :)


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Heart Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Thank you for your help and like I say...no regrets.
