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
