Every year we try and raise money for The BHF in memory of Alan, who we miss every day. This year we are unable to have our normal Alan Doyle Memorial Gala or be together as a team so we would like to raise money the socially distanced way by giving up chocolate and sweets whilst still supporting each other like we normally would. 

The pandemic is the biggest challenge we've faced in our 60 year history. And it's led to us being forced to make the devastating decision to cut our 2020 research budget in half. So the truth is, we've never needed people like you more. Virtual fundraising challenges like Dechox are a way to help us keep up the pace of progress. Your willpower will be funnelled into ground-breaking science and support for the people who need us most. Because despite everything else happening at the moment, heart and circulatory diseases are still the world's biggest killers. For the sake of our mums and dads, brothers and sisters, grandparents and friends - we can't drop the ball now.
