I'm part of an 'elite' team (elite: we've invested in new socks and we've got a head torch that's brighter than the sun...) that has decided to take part in this year's 100 km London to Brighton trek for the British Heart Foundation.

We're partly doing it so it gets my fat arse off the sofa, but it's really for a very good cause. All donations, no matter how large or small, are always gratefully received.

Coronary Heart Disease was reported last year to be the UK's biggest killer, resulting in 75,000 deaths a year. Or about 200 deaths each day. This disease is however only one aspect covered under the broad umbrella of the BHF. The BHF focus' on education, support groups and funding vital research across a broad range of heart and circulation related conditions.
