SimplyHealth Great North Run 2018 · 9 September 2018 ·

Every 5 minutes, someone dies from heart diseases in the UK. We need to tackle this problem head on, and we need to start today. Your donations will fund lifesaving medical research to find new treatments and cures. We need your help, until there are no more deaths from heart diseases.

Story

First off, thank you for visiting my page. Any donations are greatly appreciated and are going to a great cause Heart Research UK which was chosen by my friend Jim Lynskey. 

Jim has a heart condition which means he is living his life with assistance from an LVAD, which is a mechanical heart pump that is keeping him alive. He really is quite an inspirational young man who doesn't let this get in the way of his life. 

Little Comets ran the GNR in 2016 while playing a gig all the way through the course and raised a great amount for charity but due to injury I couldn't take part. I text Jim a little while back and said 'I owe you a half marathon, which charity should I run with?'. Jim very kindly assisted and put me in the safe hands of Heart Research UK and now I would like to raise £300 for people just like him. 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
