Story

Thank you for visiting my page. I'm running the London Marathon 2021 and raising money for the British Heart Foundation, I'd be really grateful for your support. 

A lot is still not understood about heart disease. Two years ago the 'master athletes research study' funded by the British Heart Foundation,  greatly helped my family by detecting my dads major, and potentially fatal heart condition. This resulted in a open chest triple heart bypass. Without this research he might not have been here today, and we are extremely grateful. He had no recognised risk factors and is a keen runner. BHF fund research into key areas such as this but also give huge amounts of support and help to people with circulatory disease and we have been lucky enough to benefit from, and witness some of their fantastic work.

Please help me reach my £3000 target!

Thank you :)
