The fast track to a healthier life
Nicholas Ward’s story
Because of the BHF I checked my pulse and was later diagnosed
with atrial fibrillation.To thank them
I signed up for the 2009 London to Brighton
Bike Ride. I was 72, and I hadn’t been on a bike for over 20
years!
Accompanied by my eldest daughter and son-in-law, we completed
the Ride, raising £17,166 in the process.
Now I’m a ‘biking fanatic’! I ride about 25 miles each
weekend. I’ve signed up for the 2010 Ride, managing to recruit 100
others to join me!
Every year 27,000 people cycle 54 miles in the BHF’s biggest and
most successful fundraising event: the London to Brighton Bike
Ride. £4.1million was raised from 2009’s Ride to bring the total
raised from the event since it started to over £50 million!
