Mini Academy walks for British Heart Foundation

The DCB’s Mini Academy Squad are planning a charity walk on the 7^th March as part of their development programme.  They will walk for 7 miles and are hoping to raise £1,000 for the British Heart Foundation. 

They hope to raise the money through sponsorship and there will be a collection bucket in the Reception at the Gateway Centre adjacent to the Cricket Shop.  There will also be a link to the British Heart Foundation Website for online donations.

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.

Their aim was to raise money to help fund extra research into the causes, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of heart and circulatory disease.

Since then there have been vital major advances in the treatment and prevention of heart disease.
