In addition to this being an important personal goal, I am taking the opportunity to fundraise for an extremely worthwhile charity and for a cause that is very dear to my heart.

Years ago, I lost my grandmother due to a heart issue at a young age. Mitral Valve Stenosis is a condition in which the heart’s mitral valve is narrowed. This abnormal valve doesn't open properly, blocking blood flow coming into your left ventricle, the main pumping chamber of your heart. 

The donations you make will help the British Heart Foundation fund groundbreaking research to prevent heart failures, as well as support the people who suffer from heart disease. http://www.bhf.org.uk/. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast, and secure. Once you donate, they send the money directly to the charity. It’s very efficient, also it saves time and costs for the charity.
