London to Surrey 100 Bike ride 2013

This year we had 9 cyclists giving up their Sunday and cycling 100 miles to raise money for Little Hearts Matter. They all did amazing well with some very impressive times. We are still waiting to find out the total raised but have a look at this fantastic video of this years team and what the event involves. Perhaps you know someone that might be interested in taking part next year so pass it on.

Summer fundraising idea - 24 hours of gaming!

Hi my name is Charlie Hylands, I’m 15 years old and have HLHS. I am writing to tell you about my plans for a 24 hour Game-a-thon to raise money for Little Heart Matters. My friend Josh Bradford and I are avid gamers spending quite a bit of time (to say the least)  on the Xbox!  Recently, at school we began talking about how cool it would be to play the Xbox for 24 hours straight and that we might be able to raise money for a charity. Josh made the suggestion of donating to Little Heart Matters and that's were it all began. There was a lot of interest from students and teachers at my school (The Eastbourne Academy) and very quickly we had lots of sponsors. The event will take place on Tuesday 6^th August at 10.00am, to date there are thirteen people joining the 24 hour gaming session which will include all different forms of gaming from Xbox, PS3  and PC gaming. We are planning to record the game-a-thon non-stop using Josh’s laptop and also record blog updates with my camera which I will then edit together and post on you tube. Josh and I have designed a sponsorship form and to date we have raised approximately £125, we hope that all those involved will also collect some sponsorship which will add to the overall amount raised in the end. 

If you would like to sponsor Charlie or would like some ideas of how you can get involved with fundraising this summer contact LHM (info@lhm.org.uk / -01214558982)
