Will & Donna fundraising for British Heart Foundation in Phoenix Energy Belfast City Half Marathon 2026
We are running the Belfast City Half Marathon in support of the British Heart Foundation in memory of our father, Jim. We lost him very suddenly, and it has changed our lives forever. Taking on this challenge is our way of honouring him, while helping to raise awareness and funds for life-saving research. We hope that through our efforts, we can contribute in some small way to preventing other families from experiencing the same loss. Thank you for your support—it truly means a lot to us. — Will & Donna
