Story

❤️ Running for the British Heart Foundation – In Honour of My Dad

This year, I’m taking on a marathon to raise vital funds for the British Heart Foundation, and I’m doing it for someone incredibly special — my dad.

My dad has been living with heart failure, and over the past months he has shown more strength and resilience than I could ever imagine. He has already undergone a quadruple bypass, and he’s now preparing for further surgery. Watching him face each challenge with courage has inspired me to do something meaningful to support him.

💪 Why I’m Running

• To celebrate my dad’s strength.

• To raise awareness of heart disease.

• To support research that gives families more time with the people they love.

❤️ How You Can Help

My fundraising target is £400, and every donation — big or small — will make a genuinely meaningful difference. Every pound helps fund research that could save lives, improve treatments, and support more families through moments just like mine.

If you’re able to donate or share, it would mean the world to me and my family.
