This year, we’re fundraising for British Heart Foundation, the UK’s largest independent funder of cardiovascular research. This year, money raised will directly benefit three research projects taking place at the Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart and Lung Research Institute (VPD-HLRI) in Cambridge. The VPD-HLRI is a state-of-the-art facility where scientists and clinicians collaborate to accelerate breakthroughs in heart and lung health, with the BHF as a founding partner.

£25 of your registration fee will go directly to the charity and we strongly encourage every team sets up a fundraising page to help us reach our target!

Far too many of us have felt the pain of losing someone we love to cardiovascular disease, the world’s biggest killer.

With your support, British Heart Foundation (BHF) powers ground breaking research to save and improve lives.

Since 1961, your support has helped us fund scientific breakthroughs that are keeping more families together today, from pacemaker technology and portable defibrillators to proving that statins can help save lives.

And with your support, our ambitions for the years to come are even bolder.

Every three minutes someone loses their life to cardiovascular disease in the UK. We’re dedicated to powering advances in cardiovascular science and healthcare that will bring us closer to the day that everyone has a healthier heart for longer. But we can’t do it without your support.

Together, the next breakthroughs in diagnosing, treating, and preventing cardiovascular disease are in reach.
