250 parkruns - thanks to Hearts & Souls

Peter Jemmett is raising money for Hearts & Souls

250 parkruns! · 23 August 2025

We raise money to fund the vital exercise sessions that are central to the cardiac rehabilitation programme in Buckinghamshire. We pay for the exercise sessions, equipment and specialist trainers so that people recovering from heart surgery and cardiac events can get back to normal.

Story

With four parkruns still to go, I've decided to again raise funds for my favourite charity 'Hearts & Souls' (cardiac rehab), kicking this off before actually attempting my landmark 250th parkrun, to help mark the actual occasion and hopefully raise some funds to help those who have suffered a recent cardiac event back to a full and active life, and possibly even take up parkrun?

Is could possibly be my 'swansong parkrun' for reasons I hope become apparent by reading my latest blog (link below), and let's face it, I'm not going to earn my 500 parkrun shirt in a decade (let alone a month) of Saturdays, so this will be, other than volunteering, the last parkrun 'landmark' I'm realistically going to reach!

My latest blog - 'Persisting with parkrun, part 2' ..... https://peterjemmett.blogspot.com/2025/07/heart-attack-to-10k-part-426-persisting.html

So, please give me that extra boost and incentive to actually get out there and make sure I complete this challenge by making a small donation of whatever you can afford.
