I'm running the London Marathon 2027 in support of Heart Research UK for a cause that means more to me than I can put into words.
In June 2025, my dad suffered a sudden cardiac arrest while out cycling. He was airlifted to hospital, where doctors immediately inserted a stent to restore blood flow to his heart. He then spent three weeks in a coma, and our family was told there was very little chance he would survive or make a meaningful recovery. At one point, we were even preparing for the possibility that his life support would be withdrawn.
Then, against all odds, he woke up.
Today, just over a year later, he's back on his bike doing what he loves. If you met him, you'd never imagine what he had been through.
Watching him fight his way back has shown me just how important life-saving cardiac research, rapid emergency treatment, and ongoing advances in heart care really are. That's why I'm taking on the challenge of running the London Marathon 2027 for Heart Research UK.
Every donation, no matter how big or small, will help fund vital research that gives more families the chance to experience the miracle we did.
Thank you so much for your support; it truly means the world.
