Narberth County Councillor, Vic Dennis is supporting BHF Cymru by taking on a cycling challenge with two friends to help beat heartbreak forever.

The cycling challenge will travel from St. Davids to Lowestoft and crosses the widest part of Britain. They are starting on Wednesday (June 16) and will take nine days to cover over 400 miles.

“I have threatened myself with this challenge for years and the lockdown finally pushed me into the decision to go for it,” said Clr. Dennis.

“It’s nearly 20 years since I cycled from Lands End to John O’Groats so this challenge is more in keeping with my age and ability, I hope!

“Narberth has always generously supported BHF Cymru. I hope the money that I raise will help prevent further life changing conditions and tragedies.”

Jayne Lewis BHF Cymru Fundraising Manager said: “I would like to thank Vic for organising the cycling challenge and raising vital funds for BHF Cymru.

“Heart and circulatory diseases kill one in four people in Wales which is devastating for those they leave behind.

“BHF Cymru is funding pioneering research, to help find preventions, treatments and cures for those people living with these conditions.

“Right now, people living with these conditions are being hit hardest by the pandemic. Covid-19 has had a huge impact on our research funding so it’s crucial we do everything possible to maintain our progress for those people who need us.

“Without support from people like Vic, we can’t fund lifesaving breakthroughs for the 340,000 people in Wales living with heart and circulatory diseases.”
