I’m delighted to be running the Paris Marathon in support of Mécénat Chirurgie Cardiaque , a charity that helps children born with heart defects in countries where the medical facilities or financial resources needed for surgery simply aren’t available. They arrange and fund life-changing heart operations, giving these children the chance of a healthier future. This cause is particularly close to my heart because my own son, Robbie, was born with a VSD (a hole in his heart) and underwent surgery when he was just two years old. Although Robbie wasn’t directly helped by this charity, I know how fortunate we were to have access to the care he needed. Without incredible organisations and the generosity of others, many children around the world would never get that same chance. I would be incredibly grateful for any donation, no matter how small, or simply for your help in sharing my fundraising page and spreading awareness. Every contribution helps support this amazing cause. Donations are processed securely through Alvarum. Thank you so much for your support! David.
