7years ago I lost my Son. So I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation's research and I'd be so grateful for your support. 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.

I will be trekking up to 70km over 5 days in Red Rock Grand Canyon, and Bryce Canyon and Zion National Park.

By the way I am 84!! And you might know me from working at McDonald's on the Gallagher retail park.

Thank you all for your support.
