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

I have been a runner for many years but it’s been a long time since I’ve completed an organised run and about 15 years since I’ve run as far as a half marathon! The reason I signed up and chose BHF was that sadly in January a dear colleague and friend, Vik, left the night shift as I was coming on to the early shift and an hour later had a cardiac arrest from which he didn’t survive. It was a devastating loss for everyone and this feels like a very small way I can do something positive in his memory.

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!
