Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've chosen to run this half marathon on behalf of the Heart Research Fund for Wales (HRFW). Through the donations that people like you and I make, this charity helps fund research into developing new treatments for those who suffer. In Wales, heart disease is the principal cause of death in both men and women and the incidence is one of the highest in the world. This needs to change.

Having always been a bit lazy and unfit when I was younger, in recent years I decided to try and change this. Now I'm finally getting around to do my first event! In a society where the incidence of heart disease is ever increasing and the amount of exercise we do is decreasing, I felt that doing something that  involved me getting healthier was quite fitting to do in support of a heart research charity in the land where I study!

Please help give me some much needed motivation by donating a couple of pounds to this worthy cause!
