In July 2022 my Mum, Judith, collapsed at home and died shortly afterwards. She was treated promptly but the symptoms she showed were common ones and she needed specialist and urgent attention to treat the aortic dissection that had occurred. I'm raising funds for Heart Research UK to support their work in research, training and education to help avoid heart disease and the devastating consequences.

I had been trying to run the London Marathon for a few years so I am very grateful for Heart Research UK allocating me one of their charity places.

Please give anything you can to support Heart Research UK and their work to help reduce the number of people developing and dying from heart disease, while improving and extending the lives of those affected.

Thank you!
