When my wife got poorly nearly six years ago she was given a second chance with a heart transplant.  

This amazing gift gave us 5 and a half extra happy years together and finally a baby, all because a single person had the courage to be a donor 

She passed away in November 2015 3 weeks after giving birthed Aria.

Unfortunately coronary heart disease is common with transplant patients and on top of all of the research needed to keep a transplant patient alive more research is needed to try and prevent this awful illness.

Heart disease is not just related to transplant patients but common in ordinary people like you and me so the same research can influence us all.

If I can help raise some money to help research by taking a day to walk a mountain great but the least I will achieve is raising awareness for organ donation, heart disease and the queen Elizabeth in Birmingham
