We fund lifesaving research to tackle heart and circulatory diseases

Story

Thanks for visiting our page.  We are raising money for the British Heart Foundation's research and we’d be so grateful for your support. 

The BHF is a charity I’m very proud to work for and the kids have been disappointed this year that they can’t take part in the usual fun events they get involved in. As part of the BHF’s #mystepchallenge, the bearcubs and I are aiming to walk/run 1million steps in July. That’s an average of just over 32,000 steps a day between us. Myself, Leo and Ava will be doing the majority with ‘little legs’ Jude helping with a few too! 

The impact of Covid-19 has had a huge impact on our income over the past few months and we recently announced that it’s likely that we will have to reduce our investment in research by 50% this year which is devastating. Any support you can give would be fantastic. 

The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit our target. Thank you!
