Why do I want to walk 150,000 steps?

Over the last year, I have become much more aware of how important it is to look after your heart and help others look after theirs. There have been a few things that happened amongst my family and friends which were a wake-up call to action to help more people realize how important it is to look after your heart.

I decided to bring more awareness to Cardiovascular Health and help people who need our support by partnering up with British Heart Foundation and signing up for a 100 km Hike (Jurassic Coast Challenge) under 24h, which will be the hardest thing I've ever done in my life.

150,000 steps to make a difference for people who really need our help.

Every step counts — I have already completed 12× Half Marathons (Hiking) over the last 12 months in preparation.

Plenty more kilometers before the event in May. I will keep you posted every step of the way via my social media channels.

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!
