He has had treatment throughout his life and has always been grateful for research funded by the BHF into heart conditions.

Despite his condition, for which he takes tablets daily and can leave him feeling very tired on physical exertion, he completed the Three Peaks Challenge in 2021.

Unable to complete it in 24 hours, Adam covered the distance over a number of weeks.

Once at the top, he proudly waved his BHF banner, raising awareness and over £1,500 in sponsorship.
