As many people know, on December the 11th 2014 I unfortunately had to undergo major open heart surgery to treat a condition known as Sub Aortic Stenosis. I was privileged to be able to have my treatment and recovery period under the care of the best Drs and nurses around at the Harley Street Clinic and for this I'm extremely grateful. 

However, there are many kids who wouldn't be able to access the same level of care I had. Since 1995 Save a Childs Heart has carried over 5300life-saving surgeries on children from 62 countries and trained 120 cardiac doctors and clinicians. SACH treat all kids, regardless of race, religion, colour sex or finnancial status making it a truly incredible charity. 

Doing the Jerusalem marathon 10K is my way of giving back, and in the same way I was fortunate enough to have such a great level of care ; every kid deserves to have the same level of cardiac care and be given every chance to live a happy and fulfilled life. 

Friends, your donations mean the world to me and I really forward to both the training and running of the Jerusalem Marathon for such an incredible organisation. 

Thank You Again
