British Heart Foundation (BHF) are holding a gruelling 17 mile charity walk around the Peak District soon and I am appealing to the ANSWERS community for sponsorship. Every single pound raised goes straight to the charity and is not put through me, so this is NOT a scam to get money out of you!

BHF were pioneers of the pacemaker and heart surgery. Thier commitment to recearch benifits us all eventually.
Please sponsor my efforts at

I have 2 questions about the british heart foundation i can’t find out from their website
1.How do they raise their money? Do they rely on the publics donations or do they have a large goverment support?
And
2.What sort of difference will my money make if i donate?

Its for a school project. I asked if we could donate the money we raise to the BHF
Also does anyone know who started the charity?
