I am delighted to be running the Manchester Marathon 2023 with the British Heart Foundation team.

First and foremost I am running this marathon in memory of my late sister Rachel O'Brien.  Rachel had PPCM and tragically passed away aged just 21 in 2012.  

I am also running this marathon because there are more than 30,000 out-of-hospital cardiac arrests in the UK each year, with a survival rate of less than 1 in 10.

Through supporting the British Heart Foundation, hopefully we can help improve this statistic/ help prevent premature bereavements of loved ones!

Thank you for your support
