A Runner With A Big Heart In Honour Of Matt Magill
Story
A mate has recently been diagnosed with Atrial fibrillation which
is caused by a disturbance of your heart's electrical system. The problem starts in the upper chambers of your heart (the atria) and causes these chambers to quiver (or 'fibrillate'), rather than beat normally. This can mean that your heart does not pump blood around your body as efficiently as it should.
Atrial fibrillation can cause:
- a 'fluttering' heartbeat
- an irregular pulse
- weakness
- dizziness.
It also increases your risk of problems caused by blood clots, which can form within the atria when they aren't beating properly. Once a blood clot forms in the atria, all or part of it may then break away and travel through your blood stream until it blocks a small artery, potentially cutting off the blood supply to one of the vital organs in your body. If this happens in one of the blood vessels supplying your brain, it can cause a stroke.
Having learnt this I am now taking part in my first marathon in New York in November and aiming to raise much needed funds for the Heart Foundation!
Please help me make a difference by clicking on Donate Now to make a secure online donation.
Thank you for your support!
