Story

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation and I'd be so grateful for your support.

In February 2024 I was admited into hospital with Myocarditis, this came as a shock to us all, the fear was further elevated when the cardiologist shared the risk of heart failure. WIth a young family and as a typically healthy person - emotions were high!

Following 6 months of complete rest from exercise and a clear cMRI (minor scarring), I was finally able to return back to exercise. I've since been using running to regain fitness and want to give back and support the BHF by testing myself in running my first ever marathon following such a health scare.

(I've never ran more than 10k 😅)

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. Thanks!
