Fundraising for British Heart Foundation

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

Over 2.7 million people suffer with heart disease in the UK today. The British Heart Foundation sets out to help by focusing on three vital areas:

Investing in pioneering research
BHF funds around 1,200 research projects investigating every aspect of heart disease - from causes and safer drugs to improving surgical techniques.

Supporting and caring for heart patients
BHF funds BHF Nurses who visit heart patients with all types of heart conditions in their homes. They also provide defibrillators and echocardiograph machines for hospitals, emergency services and first-aiders.

Providing vital information to help people reduce their own risk of dying prematurely from a heart or circulatory related illness
BHF produces publications, videos and other materials for health professionals and the public including children. They also inform people about how to improve the health of their heart through public information campaigns, advertising and the media.

Some other facts:

There are over 260 BHF Heart Nurses caring for patients across the UK.

Over 1,620 Heartstart UK schemes teach people what to do in an emergency. More than 1.2 million people have been trained by Heartstart UK in schools and the community.

The BHF invests over £100 a minute on research to keep the nation's hearts healthy.

It would be great if you could sponsor me as I grunt my way round 26.2 miles of pavement to help me support this great charity.

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 for your support.
