Olympic hopeful, Andy Tennant supports our Night Rides
The Night Ride is no ordinary bike ride. Not only will you be
cycling through the night, you’ll be bringing hope to millions of
people living with heart failure. The money you raise will go
towards our most ambitious research project to date: our Mending
Broken Hearts Appeal.
Andy says "Just remember that you're cycling to give hope to
millions worldwide and, with every mile and every penny that you
raise, you're helping us to fund research that could begin to
literally ‘mend broken hearts’ in as little as ten years time."

What can I expect?
Our dedicated Night Ride team will be on hand to support you on
every step of your journey. From fundraising to training, our team
will help you pass that finish line.
On the night itself, our route is fully marshalled and signed,
with three rest stops along the way for you to recharge your legs
and your bike lights. So all you have to do is make sure you’re on
the start line.
