Story

Thanks for taking the time to read this. 

, I WILL BE DOING MINEHEAD TRIATHLON ON OCTOBER 6th.

 This time last year I was waiting for a heart procedure to help sort 3 arrythmia issues I was suffering since I was pregnant.

I’ve always been a keen swimmer and last year I got hooked on  cycling around our lovely hills of Exmoor. 

I became much fitter and cancelled the procedure as my heart became super fit. My GP saying I had an athletes rhythm. 

My bike broke at the feasting season of Christmas so having lost two stone since the spring I was determined not to regain weight so took up running. It was suggested I do a triathlon. So I thought yes absolutely!

 I decided to raise funds for my cardiologists favourite charity as his care and support was insurmountable. helped me in my 20’s as my heart had irregular and super fast arrythmias. www.heartswell.org.uk 

Funds have helped Derriford Hospital heart department with  providing half the salary for our fantastic arrhythmia care co-ordinator team who do all the communications and general management for patients who are being prepared for ablations or being followed-up after. They also help with accommodation for relatives who live to far to travel. Such as when I was treated in Southampton.
