We are three friends from Cambridgeshire/Essex aiming to complete the Yorkshire Three Peaks to raise money for BHF in memory of Adrian's brother - who died just after his 50th birthday and his father, who died 10 months later, both due to heart failure. A personal challenge for all of us, all with links to the BHF.
Fundraising pageThe British Heart Foundation (BHF) is a charity organisation in the United Kingdom. It is the single biggest funder of cardiovascular research in the UK. The British Heart Foundation was founded in 1961 by a group of medical professionals, who were concerned about the increasing death rate from cardiovascular disease. They wanted to fund extra research into the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart and circulatory disease.[2] It is a major funder and authority in cardiovascular research, education and care, and relies predominantly on voluntary donations to meet its aims. In order to increase income and maximise the impact of its work, it also works with other organisations to combat premature death and disability from cardiovascular disease.
