<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>Im running my first ever half marathon (scary thought), the Great North Run in September, in order to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation.</p>
<div>The charity plays a close part in my life as members of my family have had heart attacks in the last few years and have required extensive surgery. As a family we have relied on the help of the BHF immensely.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>By raising funds for the BHF:</div>
<ul>
<li>You will be saving lives by helping the organisation fund groundbreaking research </li>
<li>You will be changing people's lives by enabling the BHF to provide information that helps people to keep their hearts healthy </li>
<li>You will be helping the BHF to care for heart patients and support their families</li>
</ul>
<div>They can only carry on doing this vital work with the support from people like you and I.</div>
<p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p>
<p>So please dig deep and donate now. Any donation is greatly appreciated.</p>
<p>See you at the finishing line!</p>
