Story

This June, I'm walking a minimum of 10,000 steps daily in the hopes of raising money for the British Heart Foundation. On April 16th 2011, at just 50 years old, my wonderful, healthy and active father suddenly passed away, in the span of a few minutes, whilst playing football with my brother. The ripple effect of his death sent shockwaves through my family and to all the people who loved him. He was a quirky and generous man who still had so much life left to live. His passing left scars that have never fully healed. He'd only been to the cardiologist shortly before and given a clean bill of health. Had the scarring on his heart not been missed, he'd likely still be here today. The British Heart foundation is the biggest independent funder of research into cardiovascular disease in the UK, heart failure is one of the world's biggest killers. Support for this charity could power breakthroughs to diagnose, treat, and ultimately prevent these sudden and profound losses. Any amount anyone is able to donate would be greatly appreciated.
