Dear Everyone,

I want to start this page by firstly thanking you for your time to share, read and (hopefully) donate.

As many of you know, I have worked alongside many amazing clinicians and doctors at Papworth Hospital for the last 5years. Starting within the Physiotherapy team, I took the big leap into Cardiovascular Research 2years ago. It's during my time at Papworth that I've undoubtedly seen first hand the effects of cardiovascular disease on our population. I've comforted teenagers waiting for months for a heart transplant, seen family break down at the bad news of losing a loved one and the joys of those who fight with every ounce of strength they have to meet their first grandchild.

It's the people I've meet along my journey at Papworth and losing my grandfather to cardiovascular disease a few years ago that has spurred me on to raise money for others to continue their fight against it! The money recieved by the British Heart Foundation makes a huge difference to not only forward the research done to prevent and treat heart disease but also supports those who continue their fight on a daily basis.

So what am I going to do...Bike 400Km from Vietnam to Cambodia over 10days!

In November 2018, I take on the challenge of biking 400Km from Vietnam to Cabodia. For those that know me, I cant remember the last time I rode a bike so this may be fun.

So I ask please please please help me raise £3100 for an amazing cause!

Love, Melissa

(This is a self funded trip, All money raised will be donated to the BHF).
