Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I turn 40 in May (gulp) and decided a challenge was required.  Let me introduce the Bob Graham Round - 42 Lake District peaks (a distance of about 70 miles) within 24 hours.  In one go.   Definitely a challenge!

I am raising money for SADS.  Sudden Adult/Arrhythmic Death is a tragic condition which takes the lives of 12 people between the ages of 12 and 35 each week in the UK, and which I have become increasingly aware of during my work as a cardiologist. SADS UK fund research into this condition, as well as providing life saving defibrillators in public buildings such as schools.  This is work which benefits all of us and I believe it is incredibly important that we support it.

I would like to raise £100 for every year of my life so far - an intimidating total of £4000.  Anything you can donate in support of my attempt will make a huge difference - thank you in advance.
