From Genetics to Jogging: Can I run 95Km in the month of July?

I’ve never run 95 km in a month before, but this July I’m taking on the challenge—and I’d love your support.

I’m a junior medical researcher currently completing a PhD in heart genetics. My research focuses on the Y chromosome, an area that has received relatively little attention but may hold important clues to understanding cardiovascular disease and the genetic factors that influence it.

To support the broader mission of improving heart health, I’ve dusted off my running shoes and signed up to raise funds for the Heart Foundation. The Heart Foundation supports researchers, provides education and resources, and helps improve the lives of people affected by heart disease.

If you’d like to support me, you can join my team, cheer me on, or make a donation. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps fund vital research and support programs.

Thank you for helping me turn every kilometre into something meaningful. ❤️
