On January 18th, my wife Jo suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while we were wandering around Borough Market during a weekend away in London.

After receiving emergency care at the scene, she was taken by ambulance to St Thomas' Hospital. Jo spent just over two weeks in hospital and survived because of the amazing care she received from the incredible staff at St Thomas' both in the ICU team and on the cardiac ward.

I can never thank the staff at St Thomas' enough for the care they gave to Jo and also for looking after me at an incredibly upsetting and stressful time.

By running the Royal Parks Half Marathon in support of the Guy's & St Thomas' Charity, I have the chance to give something back to say thank you for the care they gave and continue to give to Jo. She has recovered so well after her stay in hospital and the support provided to her has made such a difference.

I would be so grateful for any support you can offer. Thank you so much!
