Our son Joe Price was diagnosed with a serious heart condition in May 2008. He was 11 years old at the time and thanks to the brilliant doctors in The Heath, Cardiff and The Childrens Hospital in Bristol, he had an emergency life saving operation. It was a great shock to us all and he is still having treatment and will continue to do so indefinitely. We have had so much help and support from the British Heart Foundation, we feel that we want to give something back, so I am going to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in September 2012 to raise funds for the British Heart Foundation, who do so much to help people in our situation. The aim of the BHF is to raise money to help fund extra research into the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart and circulatory disease. Many of today's new drugs and treatments might never have been possible without the existence of the BHF. To continue this life-saving work for future generations we need your support.The Mending Broken Hearts Appeal is one of the most important fundraising efforts ever undertaken by the British Heart Foundation. Their goal is simple; to raise £50 million to fund the research that could literally mend the broken hearts of millions, within just 10 years, with your help!. Scientifically, this is a goal we can achieve. However, we need real resources and investment to make this happen. Right now, heart and circulatory disease is the UK's biggest killer. We can change that. As an Ambassador for the British Heart Foundation, I will be doing my part to raise awareness of this appeal and to help raise money for something that is very close to MY heart! Mount Kilimanjaro is the highest peak on the African continent and is considered to be the tallest free standing mountain in the world at 19342 feet. It is one of the few places on earth that encompasses every ecological life zone including tropical jungle, savannah, and desert to montane forests, subalpine plants, and the alpine zone above timberline.
