My husband recently had a heart attack and without the wonderful and amazing staff and facilities at Royal Papworth Hospital he would not be with me today, I am taking part in the Spartan Twickenham Stadion Race at the end of November which is a 5km race including 20 obstacles.

Next year once my husband is well enough we also intend on completing the Spartan TriFecta which we will also be doing to support the Royal Papworth Charity.

Royal Papworth Hospital has always ensured that it puts patients and their families at the heart of everything it does. The Charity is committed to supporting patients and their carers and seeks to enhance the support it provides to the Hospital. Charitable funds have enabled the Hospital to provide care beyond that of NHS funding alone, enhancing the Hospital’s status as the UK’s leading provider of specialist cardiothoracic care and the country’s main heart and lung transplant centre.
