SUPPORTING LOCAL SPORTS CHARITY, BST, TO PROVIDE ESSENTIAL CARDIAC REHAB PROGRAMME

BST is a registered charity, running Basingstoke Sports Centre for more than 50 years.  The charity provides a Cardiac Rehab Programme so those who have suffered a cardiac incident can get stronger, healthier and fitter.

The pandemic dealt the charity a heavy blow and it is working hard to find funds to re-grow the programme.  I have stepped in to help raise money to cover the costs.

My brother suffered a heart attack in 2019 at 26. He had been using our Cardiac Rehab programme to improve his health and fitness but since reopening, places have been limited and he hasn’t been able to attend.  My aim is to raise £7,500 to cover the costs for the year so that we can expand our offer and increase access.

I will compete in the Cotswold 113.  This includes a 1.9km Swim, 90km Bike and 21.1km run! Although an incredibly tough event, it’s half the distance of an Ironman which I hope to compete in next year.

Please donate to support me, the charity and the cardiac programme.
