My story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I have decided to run the 2010 London Marathon for the British Heart Foundation.

My inspiration is my beautiful daughter Aashima who is now 23 months old.
At 6 weeks old, she was admitted to hospital with oxygen saturation levels of only 40-50% (normal levels are 98%+).

Aashima was diagnosed with 3 major congenital heart conditions, transposition of the great arteries, a ventricular septal defect (VSD) and pulmonary stenosis. Aashima has already had 2 major heart operations at the amazing Royal Brompton Hospital in Chelsea, London, and her saturation levels are now over 70%, but over the coming years she will need to have further major heart surgery to help her live a full life.

She has a long journey ahead of her, but I am certain she will grow to be a strong and healthy woman.
   
Aashima is my inspiration.

Her name means "limitless" in hindi, and she has shown limitless strength and courage in her first year. I am running the London marathon to help Aashima and others like her.

I personally welcome any size of donation, large or small to hit my target. I am training hard, and would welcome your donations to help the hero's involved in helping my inspiration, Aashima, live the life she deserves.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Heart Foundation gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

Lots of love

Arun
