My Story

I’m running the Great North Run to raise money for the British Heart Foundation, and as some of you know, 2025 will mark five years since I had my stroke—the most terrifying experience of my life. BHF does amazing work in heart and stroke research, so this run is my way of giving back. It’s a personal journey for me, and I hope to raise awareness, support others going through similar challenges, and improve my own heart health along the way. Every step I take is for an important cause!
