I suffered a heart attack at 40 years old in September 2019. Since then I’ve celebrated each heartiversary by completing a charity challenge.
Poor weather and then a badly broken finger put this one on hold, but I managed to finally attempt it, for my 4th heartiversary, on 1st September.
Myself and 4 friends completed the ‘9 Edges Challenge’ – a 23 mile route taking in 9 gritstone edges in the Peak District.
We set off early morning into low cloud and drizzle. Soggy boots didn’t dampen our spirits and we completed the course in 9 hours.
We managed to raise £500.
I chose CRY in memory of my nephew Tom, who passed away in 2021 at just 18 years old due to an undiagnosed heart defect.
He was a cracking lad and our family miss him dearly.
