What is Walk for Hearts?
A virtual fundraising challenge for BHF, which challenges you to walk 28, 50 or 100 miles in February. It's your challenge, so you can choose when and where you complete your miles. You can track your miles using your phone, smart watch or other device.
Grab your comfy walking shoes and get started!
My final count was 36 miles. Some were hard. Some were fun. All were for a good cause.
Teams
You are encouraged to take part with family, friends, colleagues and any groups you're a part of. To take part as a group, you'll have to register individually so you can receive your t-shirt.
From there, you can create a JustGiving team which you can all join and fundraise together, share your group updates and encourage others to join you.
How you take on your miles as a group is entirely up to you; you can aim to reach your collective total, share your miles between you or take them on however you like.
How to track your miles
- Keep a tally manually - using your mile tracker
- Use your preferred app - such as Strava or Fitbit
- T-shirt
Join the team and fundraise for BHF and you'll be rewarded with so much more than a thank you.

- Support from the BHF team
- Free BHF t-shirt and mile tracker

- Free BHF beanie hat if you raise £300
