Story
Thank you for visiting our fundraising page which is for all the 7.5 mile walkers. Please dig deep and sponsor us online.
On the 25th April 2008 we will be walking from Tottenham Hotspurs Football Club to CH City of London in memory of Ken Ford who sadly passed away on 25th October 2007. Ken was a respected and dedicated member of the department and will be greatly missed by his friends and colleagues.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: British Heart Foundation will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor us now!
£48 - would fund one ultrasound scan to detect heart problems in an unborn child.
£120 - would pay for 4 Heartstart UK training packs - essential for schools to teach pupils life saving skills.
£200 - funds one scientist for a day.
£500 - pays for a BHF nurse to spend time with 20 heart patients, checking medication and monitoring their progress in their own homes.
Many thanks for your support.
