The Norfolk Heart Trust was established in 1994 to raise money for the treatment of heart disease locally and has since raised nearly £2 million. Our recent 'Sparks4Hearts' appeal has raised nearly £400,000 for equipment to cure heart rhythm disorders at the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital.

We will start on the Friday evening at Ben Nevis and have approximately 5 hours to make it up and down the mountain before moving on to the lake District, a drive of 280 miles. We then have another 5 hours to complete our hike up and down Scafell Pike before making the 200mile drive into Snowdonia. We then have 4 hours to get up and Down Snowdon to meet the 24 hour deadline. As well as making sure we get safely between each mountain on our challenge, our drivers act as a support team making sure everyone is fed and watered and being our link to the outside world in case of an emergency.</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #000000; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-themecolor: dark2;">&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #000000; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-themecolor: dark2;">The Sparks 4 Hearts appeal holds particular significance for me a my father has been through this procedure and I have seen the significant improvements it has brought. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The team has set the target of raising &pound;1,500 for the Sparks 4 Hearts appeal but we hope that this is a conservative target.</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #1f497d; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-themecolor: dark2;">&nbsp;</span></strong></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="color: #000000;"><strong><span style="font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 11pt; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-themecolor: dark2;">Thank you for your support.</span></strong></span></p> <p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
