You may remember in late last year us talking about the very inspiring twin brothers, Jonathan and David Stretton-Downes, that have partnered with the British Heart Foundation to raise £100,000 in the space of a year.

The campaign, titled SIX TIMES OPEN, began after Jonathan discovered that he would be going under the knife for his sixth heart related surgery in 2017.

Throughout 2017 they have conducted numerous events and fundraising activities, with many friends and partners, to challenge and inspire in the fight for every heartbeat!

On Saturday 30th September, in support of World Heart Day, the brothers are taking part in a series of 5K fun runs in popular locations over the UK.

The runs will be taking place at 6 well-known locations across the UK, which are below;

Edinburgh

Newcastle

Bedale

Leeds

Nottingham

London

If you would like to sign up and take part, just click on the location you would like to be a part of and you will be taken to the dedicated Facebook page.

We look forward to hearing all about it and seeing the pictures – good luck to all you runners out there!

Exciting new campaign SIX TIMES OPEN in association with the British Heart Foundation

Posted on December 8, 2016 by Curing eczema the natural way without steroids

Twins, Jonathan and David Stretton-Downes, have partnered with the British Heart Foundation to launch an exciting campaign called SIX TIMES OPEN. The official launch happened in November and was attended by representatives from the BHF.

The story behind the campaign – early next year Jonathan will undergo his sixth open heart surgery at the young age of 28, both twins will inevitably live through the physical and emotional trauma which surrounds such invasive surgery. The campaign SIX TIMES OPEN along with the support of the British Heart Foundation aims to increase awareness of heart conditions while raising money for the charity, they are hoping to raise a total of £100,000!

The 12-month campaign, running through 2016/2017, will intimately follow Jonathan and David as they prepare mentally and physically for the roller-coaster of a sixth heart operation, through the surgery itself and along the harsh road to recovery.

The campaign also aims to inspire others in similar situations that events such as this don’t have to define who you are or dictate your life!

We aim to raise 100K for the British Heart Foundation through numerous events, activities and corporate partnerships. Events are already being planned to take place both nationally and internationally by talented and committed friends, corporate partners and key sponsors who are all passionate about this cause.
