Welcome to my Just Giving fundraising page! I am running the 2025 Bournemouth Half Marathon for British Heart Foundation.

In 2016 I was diagnosed with complete heart block with little to no symptoms other than being dizzy and having to sit on my mums feet in Sainsbury’s! it was a surprise to me and my family. Prior to insertion my dad told me I’d have to carry a backpack at all times with my battery in and I’d be very useful for people to charge their phones….

6 weeks from diagnosis I had a pacemaker inserted with 1 lead (pacey 1). In December 2017 my heart became weak from only having 1 lead and my pacemaker was changed to 3 leads being fully paced (pacey 2.0).

I have danced from a very young age and refused to let this stop me. They put my pacemaker in ‘sports mode’!! This is something I do not let change how I see my life or hinder it in any way possible.

I’m running the half marathon to push myself and raise money to give back to a charity that has helped me continue to be a pain in the ass….
