Running the London marathon has been something which I have always wanted to do. So when I was asked to run as part of #Teamcardio for the CardiomyopathyUK team in 2016, it was impossible for me to say no.

I will be running in memory of Mitchell Cole, who sadly lost his life at the age of 27 to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Mitchell was an ambassador for CardiomyopathyUK, and over the recent months this charity has now become one close to my heart.
