Story

My dad was born with an inherited heart condition, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy which meant the walls of his heart thickened over time.

He had a defibrillator fitted years ago in case his heart stopped due to the condition and because he was well looked after by my mum and he looked after himself by eating healthy, not drinking often and quitting smoking he was able to manage it quite well.

My dad passed away last October which was a shock to the whole family as the day before he was taken to hospital he was laughing and joking with family members and didn't appear ill at all.

I am also doing this abseil for my Mum who has since had a Stroke, my youngest Sister who was born with a Heart Murmur which has healed, my other 2nd youngest sister who has Asthma and my Partners Dad who has had heart problems in the past.

Thank you 😊
