pha uk member paul sealey is gearing up to mark one year since life-saving surgery by running 13.1 miles for our charity.  <\/strong><\/p>

paul, who lives in wales, will complete the cardiff half marathon in october – almost 12 months to the day since his pulmonary endarterectomy<\/a>.<\/p>

he underwent the operation to remove clots on his lungs that had caused chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension<\/a> (cteph), after living with debilitating symptoms for years.<\/p>

paul will be joined by his son josh for the race, and he\u2019s determined to make it a meaningful end to a tough journey with his health by raising money for the pha uk.<\/p>

he said: \u201cthe day of the run will be just short of a year since my operation and there\u2019s a massive significance in that. it means that in less than a year, i will have gone from having a life-saving operation to running a half marathon. it\u2019s going to be a big personal achievement.\u201d<\/p>

the cardiff half marathon takes place on 1st<\/sup> october and paul is collecting sponsorship online here<\/a>.<\/p>

you can read our full interview with paul in the summer issue of emphasis<\/a>, published at the end of june.<\/em><\/p>
