Guys, it is done!!! Unfortunately, the team got split up. Eventually, Philip and I pedalled more than the allocated 54 miles (or 86 km for metric people like me) due to trains not running. After 105 km in total we were back home at 9.30 pm, after an amazing day, exhausted, and happy to have raised more than £1,000 for the BHF so far just between the two of us (hopefully more to come). We are humbled and thank you all.

I have been cycling all my life: initially to school, the university and then to work. Research into blood vessel problems in the brain and the eye has been my work and passion for the past 24 years and the BHF has played a huge part in funding this endeavour. Without them we would not have made discovery into brain inflammation, oedema and also drug delivery to the diseased brain.

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.
