Thank you so much for visiting my page. 

On 25th February 2023 I lost the most amazing dad I could have ever asked for, Ian Dodds to a sudden and unexpected heart attack at only 57 years old. He was a gentle, kind, thoughtful, intelligent man whose favourite things were holidays and his girls. 

My sister Phoebe and I have decided to run the Big Half in memory of our wonderful dad and raise money for the British Heart Foundation. 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. 

I thank you in advance for reading my story and all donations however big or small are greatly appreciated and will hopefully support to help others like Ian and our family. 

In loving memory of Ian Dodds.
