Story

Thanks for visiting my page.

Dean and I are raising money for the British Heart Foundation and I'd be so grateful for your support. As some of you may know, Dean lost his Dad, Woody to a fatal heart attack in January 2014 and when we can, we aim to plan a yearly charity event to raise money for British Heart Foundation in memory of his Dad.

In 2007 Woody ran the Great North Run so we (I) had the brilliant brainwave that we could do this in his memory!

Training is in progress.. slowing racking up the miles when I can.. (please note: I hate running so who know's what I was thinking when I signed 'us' up in January!)

Heyho, we have committed now so if you are able to support us with a small donation, it would be hugely appreciated and at the end, I will give everyone a big sweaty hug as a thank you :)

Thank you so much for visiting our page

Sam & Dean xx

The important bit below of how your contribution can help:

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!
