India & Hannah Edinburgh Half Marathon

My good mate Hannah and I are running the Edinburgh Half Marathon for both The British Heart Foundation and My Name’5 Doddie charities.

❤️The British Heart foundation aims to create a world free from the fear of heart and circulatory diseases. They raise money to research cures and accessible treatments, providing support for families in their hour of need. Working with your donations they are able to carry out transplants, pacemakers and other surgical treatments whilst also providing portable defibrillators to local communities.

With something that has touched my own family and families close to us, I’d like to have the opportunity to help a cause close to my heart and run in memory of my Grandpa.

❤️My Name’5 Doddie is a Scottish charity committed to creating a world free of Motor Neurone Disease, in memory of Doddie Weir, a Scottish Rugby Union player who made 60+ national appearances. MND is a rare condition affecting the brain and nerves. Symptoms include muscle weakness, slurred speech and difficulty in swallowing, eventually leading to death. I’ve chosen this charity because my Grandad was diagnosed a year and a half ago.

Both of these charities mean a lot to us and our families and we are so grateful for any donations to this cause. The money donated will be split in half and donated to both charities. Thank you, and wish us luck!
