I am running the London Landmarks Half Marathon at the beginning of April to help raise money for the charity Different Strokes. 

I had a stroke when I was 17 because of 2 undiagnosed holes in my heart that meant a blood clot could bypass my lungs and go straight to my brain… At the time the surgery to close the holes wasn't available on the NHS so I had to go private to get them filled, however this charity helped campaign to reinstate it as an NHS covered procedure which is AMAZING, as well as helping support other young people who have had strokes.

Since my surgery I’ve become a little obsessed with health and fitness so I am SO excited to be able to support this charity AND run at the same time. Thank you for your donations <3
