We fund life saving medical research to beat the world's biggest killers.

Story

Last year I was diagnosed with heart disease which required a triple artery bypass. This turned into a quadruple on the morning of the operation!  I was fit and active, cycled and ran regularly, so this diagnosis was somewhat of a shock to both my family and myself. I quickly realised I was not alone and heart conditions affect all ages and both male and female.

I have been lucky and recovered quickly with the help of family and friends, but I have been determined that having the operation would not hold me back and want to show others that you can lead a normal life after a major operation.

Hopefully you can help me achieve this by sponsoring me to cycle the 100 miles in aid of the British Heart Foundation.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
