Back in 2016 I thought running was my nemesis and decided cycling was the way forward to help raise money for charity (taking part in Ride London). 

Fast forward 3 and a half years and I have a huge passion for cycling, as you all know, so doing a cycling challenge feels a bit like cheating.... This is where I have Cathy to thank for suggesting we do a half marathon. Although I am partly to blame after we had struck a deal where she would ride a bike if I went running.....I'm now committed to running 13miles, yikes!!

I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation's research and I'd be so grateful for your support. The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target. Thanks!
