When Sarah was diagnosed with Pulmonary Hypertension in 2013, the Doctors told us not to research the disease because anything we read would be bad news.  A nasty disease with a poor prognosis.  We knew next to nothing about it, we didn't know any other patients to talk to. 

The Pulmonary Hypertension Association were our lifeline.  With their help, we have learned to manage the disease, made new friends on their own journeys, and have become involved in research to improve treatments and hopefully develop a cure in the future.

I will be running for up to 36 hours non-stop around the coast and mountains of North Yorkshire. 110 miles. 6000 metres of elevation. That's three quarters the height of Everest.  To prepare, I have run over 800 miles since January.  On 9 of those days I have run marathon-distance or more.  This will be the hardest physical challenge I have ever done.

Any money you can give will go a long way to helping the PHA in their three key areas: supporting patients, educating medical professionals and researching new treatments. Please help.
