Story

London to Brighton 2025 - 54 miles!

“Hope is the heartbeat of the soul” 💚

We all have one, we all need one and we all share part of it with someone. The world’s greatest pump 😀 ❤️

It’s very easy to take this phenomenal piece of kit we all have and we all can’t live without for granted. It beats without thought, no matter what we throw at it, until it doesn’t. Too many of us have experienced just what happens and what it feels like when something goes wrong. Whether it’s a personal experience, with a loved one or a stranger you met by chance.

The past few years have dished out its fair share of heartbreak for our family and some of my friends and their families, never mind all the people we walk past or meet during our everyday ❤️‍🩹 The majority of heart conditions go undetected until a life changing event takes place 😞 My family, my friends and their families have all felt the effects of these events recently. My heart tells me this challenge is a must, this is for you, you know who you are 💚

£300 could help provide 6 months supply of tiny molecules that light up under a microscope. My head sees these as the hearts little discos balls that let researchers see what’s happening in there 😀

£500 can fund a research programme for a full day!!!

£1000 can help buy brand new pieces of equipment that helps biologists identify molecules linked in coronary heart disease and vascular dementia 😮

How awesome is that 😀 Let’s do this 🤩🙌

Everything can change in a heartbeat 💚

For those who walked before us, who walk with us and who will walk after us ❤️

The BHF fund around £100 million of research each year into all heart and circulatory diseases and the things that cause them. Heart diseases. Stroke. Vascular dementia. Diabetes. They're all connected, and they're all under our microscope.

Thousands of people every year are helped through the research we do. Research funded by everyday people, like you.

Every donation you make helps fund scientific breakthroughs. Fundraise for the BHF and help us turn science fiction into reality.
