Story

<p>Until 4 months ago you would only have found me on bikes with knobby tires and a smattering of mud. But now I'm wearing lycra(worth sponsoring in its self) and riding 900miles on a skinny tired road bike John o groats to Lands end&nbsp;to fund raise.</p> <p>Hearts disease has had a massive effect on many people including myself. 27 years ago I was with my grandfather, the fittest 62 year old I ever knew when he died from a massive heart attack. Last month my father the fittest 62 year old&nbsp;I currently know had a life saving triple heart bypass. Not possibIe for my grandfather. In less than a generation HeartswellSw has established a renowned and successful cardiac unit at Derriford hospital. Charitable contributions help staff the cardiac unit, provide equipment and give support to the patients and families effected by heart disease in the south west.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
