I’ve decided to take on the Manchester Marathon to support the British Heart Foundation, a charity dedicated to fighting heart and circulatory diseases.

Heart conditions don’t always come with warnings. They affect people of all ages and backgrounds, and their impact can be devastating. Research funded by BHF gives hope — hope for prevention, better treatments, and more time with the people we love.

Running a marathon will be one of the toughest things I’ve done, but it’s nothing compared to the battles many people face every day. Please consider donating if you can — together, we can help save and improve lives.
