Heart disease touches us all. The chances are that you, your family or your friends have been affected. Lives are cut short; living is harder. The British Heart Foundation's vital work in research, prevention and care is saving lives. But far too many people are still dying prematurely from heart disease. The BHF spends £190 every minute of every day on life-saving research, why - because every two minutes someone has a heart attack and half of them die.

When you join the Heart Runners team you're not only supporting a good cause. You're saving lives. It is only with your help that the BHF is able to continue in the race against heart disease.

So whether you know someone who has been affected by heart disease or you just want to put on your running shoes for a great cause, your heart will tell you that there is no one better to run for than the nation's heart charity.
