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

After watching the London Marathon every year since I was a child, I realised it was too easy to sit and watch the tv making claims about how inspirational it was but profess how I could never do it. Instead it was time to say yes, to take on a challenge greater than anything I have ever done before. I will be running with a colleague, this charity is very close to her family and your support is so valuable as we take on this challenge together.

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!
