Story

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation and I'd be so grateful for your support. My grandfather died of a heart attack aged just 65, and both my brother and uncle had heart attacks at age 40 (both survived), so it is a cause that is close to my heart:-)

The BHF also gave St Joseph's (where I work) a box of skipping ropes in the hopes that we would do a sponsored skip. We weren't able to due to COVID, so I thought I would raise money for them in this way.

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, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target. Thanks!
