Heart of charity event

Kent and East Sussex locals are being urged to join in the charity's bank holiday weekend walk that takes place from 09:30am - 17:00 around the beautifully scenic and tranquil Bewl Water Reservoir.

There are four distances to choose from, 3, 6, 9 or 13 miles. The 13 mile route is a full circle around the reservoir finishing back at the start (approx. 5 hours)

The Tunbridge Wells volunteer branch of the BHF have been organising this event for seven years and have raised over £25,000 for the charity from this event. Rose Mitson volunteer branch chairman said: "We are raising money for the BHF's 50th anniversary appeal to Mend Broken Hearts. It would be fantastic if we could raise a record amount to celebrate the 50th year and support this groundbreaking appeal."

So whether you are looking to take part in a friendly event with your dog, a family event in the fresh air or as part of a team, the BHF would love to hear from you. There is a £3 registration fee per person and free parking. The BHF rely wholly on the sponsorship that is raised. Families traditionally bring along a picnic and make a day of it.

Why not help celebrate their 50th birthday this year by pledging a minimum of £50 in sponsorship for this event - FIFTY FOR FIFTY! Just a pound for every year the BHF has been doing its fantastic, life-saving work.
