Walk for Hearts

Join us for Walk for Hearts 2026 this February.

Help keep hearts beating this Heart Month by taking on the challenge of walking 28, 50 or 100 miles in a month to help fund lifesaving research. 28 miles in February is just 1 mile a day.

This is your personal challenge to take on throughout February. A short stroll in the park, a trip to the shops or a longer walk with friends - every step adds up. You choose when and where you get your miles in.

So, join us and be part of something amazing this February.
