Fundraising for Upbeat Heart Support Group

Story

In recent years my uncle, along with many of my close friends have survived a heart attack. Their success could not be possible without the treatment provided in hospital along with the ever so important continued aftercare, which has been provided by the Upbeat Heart Support Group.

The "Upbeat Heart Support Group" is a registered independent charity set up by ex-cardiac patients. The charity provides former heart attack patients and people with heart problems, with health education, exercise classes, and social activities amongst other people with similar conditions.

I am calling upon your good hearts, to sponsor me on the Pathfinder March, held on the 18 June 2016, where I shall be running 46 miles. If I could get at least £1 from everyone of my friends on Facebook I would raise over £100, so please spare a pound if you can!

If you wish to come and show your support the event details can be found here: http://www.pathfindermarch.co.uk/index.html

Thank you for all your support and anything you can spare.

Upbeat is a voluntary, self financing local charity for patients with heart and related illnesses. It was established as a self help group twenty one years ago with the aims and ideals of mutual support and help, coupled with professional expertise, to help patients overcome and get through the emotional and medical trauma of a life threatening occurrence and to assist them on the road to recovery and back to a normal way of life as possible. We offer support and exercise facilities to patients and carers in a reassuring environment weekly, at three centres in Bury St. Edmunds and Sudbury. A highly trained cardiac nurse and British Association for Cardiac Rehabilitation exercise instructors are in attendance at all sessions. We provide a full and varied programme of social activities and trips and members enjoy the friendship and self help achieved by talking and socialising with other members over a cup of tea or coffee at our sessions or on dedicated trips to the theatre or river trips etc. We are not funded by the NHS or British Heart Foundation and most of our financial income is derived from donations from members and supporters, collections, fund raising activities and the very occasional grant. This has all been administered by a small unpaid volunteer committee, most of whom have coronary heart disease. Thank you for your support and kind donations.
