Becky Speers discovered she had a heart condition in a dramatic way - when she collapsed at the end of a 5k charity run. On this episode, Molly Tresadern from the British Heart Foundation talks with Becky about discovering she had an inherited heart condition, how she's come to appreciate the ICD that could help to save her life - and how it hasn't put her off running.
