Story

Hi all!

We are all taking part in the Brighton Half-Marathon in memory of our beloved father/uncle Chris Wroth, who sadly passed away from a heart-attack this last year.

Chris lived just outside of Brighton, and was very fond of going down to the beach for a swim, so we felt running along its shoreline and raising a few bob in his name for the British Heart Foundation would be a fitting tribute!

The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target.

Thank you for every single penny you donate to such a vital cause!

Emilio, Ben, Joe, Pete, Freddie, Florence, Verity, Chris, Dave & Cat!
