By raising money for the BHF as part of the Duke of Edinburgh's Award , participants are funding research that gets us closer to cures and treatments for heart and circulatory disease.

Story

I am aiming to walk at least 5KMs per week to fundraise for the British Heart Foundation. I normally do this with my family and I try to do it within an hour.

In addition to supporting the BHF, I am also using the activity to count towards the volunteering part of the DofE Bronze award.

Thank you for considering a donation. I am thankful for any amount you can spare.

Your donations help BHF fund more ground breaking research. Help to save and improve lives of families and loved ones by making a donation today.

£2 can help researchers we fund to isolate the DNA from a patients blood sample, in the hope of finding faulty genes causing heart and circulatory diseases.

£6 can help to buy test tubes that researchers we fund use to aid their research into inherited heart conditions.

£16 could support one of our early career scientists to conduct one hour of research.

£22 provides an hour of vital support from a Cardiac Nurse to answer patients questions

£25 could help to give a researcher an hour of access to a powerful microscope helping them to see whats going on inside heart and blood vessel cells.
