Story

Hey folks! Welcome to my Virgin London Marathon Challenge supporters' page. Thanks for taking the time to visit.

This is my first ever marathon so it's a massive challenge! But I'm training hard and up for it!  I wanted to run for The British Heart Foundation because close family and friends have been affected by serious heart health conditions, so it's an issue close to me.

My own dad suffered a heart attack two years ago.   He received top treatment and is thankfully still with us today.  Sadly not everyone is so lucky;  people lose their lives and their loved ones to heart failure, hearts are broken and lives are torn apart.

Not enough attention is given to heart health  and more public awareness is needed to help us keep our hearts healthier for longer and keep friends and families living happy together for as long as possible.

So please pump a few pennies into my JustGiving pot and let's make Britain's heart big, strong, and healthy together!
