Cuba Trek Nov 2008 · 22 November 2008 ·

Far too many of us have felt the pain of losing someone we love. With your donations, we power groundbreaking cardiovascular research to save and improve lives, bring hope to families, and keep hearts beating across the UK.

Story

Thank you very much for visiting my fundraising page.

Despite great medical advances,  Heart and Circulatory Disease remains UK's biggest killer  -  responsible for the death of almost 40% of the population, many of whom are young. The British Heart Foundation is UK's leading heart charity spearheading vital research into the causes, prevention and treatment of premature heart disease.

I am pleased to report that I succeeded in completing the Trek at the end of November 2008, crossing the magnificent jungles and mountain ranges of Cuba in support of the British Heart Foundation. It was a marvellous experience in the company of a great team of 16 colleagues.  It was a unique challenge and the memories will last for ever.

I am very keen to continue fund-raising for the BHF through to the end of January 2009 and I am most grateful for donations towards  the ongoing work and research undertaken by the Charity. I hope that my endeavours in Cuba will continue to stimulate an interest in supporting this excellent Charity. 

I confirm that I have funded my own travel etc.for the expedition, so all donations will go directly to the BHF. 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: British Heart Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks indeed for your support.

Colin
