Hello!
I turned 40 in December, and am celebrating with a year of fundraising for the Children's Heart Surgery Fund in Leeds, who were a key part of my childhood when I had open heart surgery in 1991 at the age of 7. Largely thanks to the surgery I had, I have made it to 40, and would like to give back to the CHSF for making my stay in hospital all those years ago much less of an ordeal.
I am taking part in the Leeds Half Marathon, the Leeds 10k, the Great North Run and the New York City Marathon 2024, as well as some extra bits through the year!
