About us:

7 friends... drunk.... thought this was a good idea one evening... one friend can't cycle (no names mentioned) one friend fell off a bike last time they used one (no names mentioned) only half of us have bikes currently and one of us has to train (and motivate) this SINKING SHIP to finish the 54 miles on 19th June 2011!

With that in mind we will need as much support as possible to get everyone home in one piece! the London to brighton bike ride is run by the BHF and we will be raising money for them, below is what the BHF do plus their aims and objectives

 

About the BHF:

Our vision couldn’t be much more ambitious - a world where people no longer die prematurely from heart disease.
When you have a vision that big in mind, it helps to set some milestones along the way. That’s why we’ve set a number of objectives to guide our day-to-day work.
But we can’t do any of it alone. We are working alongside government, other health charities, healthcare professionals and thousands of dedicated supporters to beat heart disease. Everybody has a part to play.

Aims and objectives
Our mission is to play a leading role in the fight against disease of the heart and circulation, so that it is no longer a major cause of disability and premature death.
we stated that:
Within a generation, we aim to:
    * reduce cardiovascular disease in the UK to one of the lowest levels in Europe.
Within a decade, we aim to:
    * halve the number of people under 75 who die from cardiovascular disease
    * make sure at least two thirds of people under 75 survive a heart attack
    * reduce heart-related deaths in all UK local authority areas to the current level in South East England or below
    * reverse the increase in childhood obesity.
