I am running the Vienna marathon on the 21st of April for the British Heart Foundation in memory of my amazing dad, Mark. He was a thoughtful, funny and a loving man devoted to his family and wonderful friends. My dad’s death was so out of the blue as he was just 47 years old and it was caused by coronary heart disease.

Running a marathon is certainly a challenge for me and so I would be grateful for any support and donations towards such an incredible cause. I will be running this just a few days before my dad's 15 year anniversary and so I hope he will be proud!

I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation and I'd be so grateful for your support. 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 are still losing their lives because of it. It's only thanks to support from people like you 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. Thank you!
