When I was 15, I was diagnosed with a heart condition, a common heart arrhythmia (supraventricular tachycardia) , after two heart surgeries (cardiac ablations)and years of constant medication I was later diagnosed with a rare heart arrhythmia (inappropriate sinus tachycardia). While trying to live a ‘normal’ life I have to live with the thought that one day I will more than likely suffer heart failure and depend on the critical research of he British Heart foundation to survive.

Although I have days struggling to get out of bed because my resting heart rate can vary between 120-200bpm I have decided to become a British heart foundation runner because I have first hand knowledge how hard it is to stand by while somebody who you love so much suffers and not be able to help them in any way. I also know that one-day, my family will have to go through the same struggle with me, that’s why I have decided that while I am still fit and able I need to make a difference.

The BHF is the charity leading the critical research that will hopefully allow me and thousands of other people suffering from heart conditions/disease to lead a longer and fuller life, but I cant do it alone, we also need people like you to donate, any amount how ever small will be greatly appreciated.

You can find out more imformation, find support and see how you can help change lives by visiting the Arrythmia Alliance and the British Heart Foundation's web pages.
