Central Line Superheroes
A group of ten superheroes walked the length of London’s Central Line in a day to support Kinari Mehta, who has PH. Over £4,000 was raised for the PHA UK. Kinari said: “I am amazed at the total
amount raised. This all could not have been achieved without each and every donation, and all the beautiful messages of support along the way.” Asha Muhabir, one of the walkers, said: “We are all sore, but we are so happy that we raised so much more than we ever thought was achievable. Thank you to all the people we met along the way for joining us on our journey and for your donations and kind words to keep us walking on!”
Fundraising fitness class
Simmone Shearn from Dorset organised a fundraising fitness class in memory of her mum, who had PH. £693 was raised for the PHA UK. Simmone said: “Mum was a dedicated nurse and I feel so strongly that PH needs to be brought to the fore. I feel devastated that she is no longer with us but want something positive to come out of it in her loving memory. The day was a big success and I’m pleased to do my little bit to contribute towards a great cause.”

Will walks the Thames
Will Perry completed the Thames Path Challenge, walking 100k in 31 hours to raise over £800 for the PHA UK after he had a pulmonary endarterectomy in January 2018. Will said: “I did the challenge on my own, but it never felt like that because people were constantly cheering me on, and I was lucky to have my family there at all the major rest stops. I know I am incredibly lucky to have had the surgery and I have my life back. I just hope I can show people there is a life after PH.”
