I AM writing to thank you and your readers for supporting the British Heart Foundation’s annual Wyre Forest Trail Run in March.

With over 750 runners taking part we again enjoyed a successful year, so thank you to everyone that signed up.

There’s just one more very important step that we need all of those involved to take.

Whilst we are thrilled with the turnout again, what allows us to come back year after year is the money that the event raises; money which funds pioneering research in the fight against heart disease – a disease which claims over 200 lives every day.

Thanks to everyone who has already sent in their sponsorship money, we have raised nearly £6,000, however we know there are still donations still to come. We are urging everyone that worked so hard to achieve their goals on the day to make their achievements count.

The best way to raise money is to set up an online fundraising page, or should you need any more sponsorship forms, please contact us on 0845 130 8663 or email events@bhf.org.uk
