Sadly, the British Heart Foundation is a charity very close to myself and my family. In supporting this charity to continue their research and to educate the public, we stand a better chance of preventing and lowering the risk of heart disease. For many it is sadly too late, but I'd like to make a difference for those who can still benefit from their work. Every penny you donate WILL make a difference.

I will be running every day from January 1st 2015 on the build up to running the 2016 LONDON MARATHON AND EDINBURGH MARATHON. 2 Marathons in 5 weeks for the British Heart Foundation. 

"Today in the UK, around 480 people will go to hospital with a heart attack. About seven in ten will survive to return home. In 1961, when the BHF began, that would have been unthinkable. In those days the odds of survival, let alone recovery, from heart attack were poor.

"We led the fight to change that with pioneering research that paved the way for life-saving treatments. We’re not going to stand still and wait for progress to come. We’re going to drive the fight forward by expanding our research programme, accelerating discovery, and pushing for its translation into lifesaving benefits for all."  Simon Gillespie, BHF Chief Executive
