Cycle for Hearts

Of course! You can either pay any cash donations onto your fundraising page or you collect donations on a sponsorship form. Once you've finished collecting your donations, you can find full details of how to pay your donations into us here.

Anyone who raises over £100 on their JustGiving page will receive an exclusive Cycle for Hearts medal through the post (UK only).

You don't need to do anything to claim your medal, we'll pop it in the post for you automatically once you have raised £100. Please allow up to four weeks for your medal to arrive after hitting the £100 mark. If it's been longer than four weeks and you still haven't heard from us, please drop us an email to [email protected] and we'll get one sent out to you immediately.

Medals will start being sent out when the challenge begins in February.

We encourage everyone to complete this challenge in February, so that you can be part of our supportive community of cyclists taking on this incredible event together! However, if you need a few extra weeks to complete your miles, feel free to extend your challenge into March.

Of course! You can join our Facebook Group and be part of our supportive online community.

When you sign up, you can choose whether you would like to receive a free BHF t-shirt from us and select your size.

We will start sending out BHF t-shirts on w/c 6 January 2025. Please allow up to 10 days for your t-shirt to arrive.

No, you can set your own target, but we encourage everyone to raise £100 to receive their exclusive Cycle for Hearts medal.

We would encourage you to set up a JustGiving page to get started with your fundraising. All the donations made to your page will be sent to us automatically. You can also share your progress on social media and in your groups chats for friends and family to see.

We will also send you plenty of fundraising tips and support throughout the challenge to help you raise as much as possible!

No, this challenge is free to take part in!

You can track your miles however you wish, whether it be making a tally or using your preferred app. You're responsible for keeping track of your own mileage.

For example, if you use Strava or Fitbit, you can link your account to your JustGiving page. This way, you can track your activities and share your progress with your family and friends. You can find instructions on how to connect your Strava account here and your Fitbit account here.

Make sure you only set this up once you are ready to start your challenge, as all of your activities will upload to your page after connecting your account.

Please see JustGiving's help pages if you're having a problems connecting.

If you prefer not to use an app, you can manually add your progress to your fundraising page instead by clicking on the 'Add manual data' button in the Fitness Activity box, under the 'Connect with Strava' button.

It is a virtual fundraising challenge for British Heart Foundation. We're challenging you to cycle 100, 250 or 500 miles in February. It's your challenge, so you can choose when and where you complete your miles! You can track your miles using your phone, smart watch or other device.
