It is estimated that as many as 15 million children die or remain severely ill every year through potentially treatable or preventable cardiac diseases. Chain of Hope exists to provide children from developing countries affected by life-threatening heart conditions with the medical treatment to save their lives.

This is a particularly important cause to me, as I am fortunate enough to work full time for the charity.

My challenge for this fundraiser will be to do 15 minutes of different, intense cardio workouts every day for the month of September (a ‘Heartathon’ you could say), finishing on ‘World Heart Day’ on 29th. The choice of 15 minutes represents the 15 million children mentioned above that suffer with heart conditions.
