2000 people per year lose their lives from aortic dissection in the UK.The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust is the UK and Ireland charity uniting patients, families and the medical community in a shared goal of improving diagnosis, increasing survival and reducing disability due to aortic dissection.

Nigel was the fittest person I knew, an avid and remarkable cyclist whose sudden demise with AD was shocking and tragic. With this run I hope to raise awareness of AD, contribute to this charity and celebrate Nigel’s life with his family and friends
