Support the Heart of Durham Appeal

The Heart of Durham Appeal aims to raise £47,923 to buy a 2D echocardiogram machine for University Hospital of North Durham, in Durham City.

The new scanner, which would be the hospital’s fourth, would be capable of performing hundreds of heart scans every month and could cutting waiting times from four-and-a-half weeks to three weeks. It would allow care to be expanded into communities across north Durham, boosting early diagnosis of heart problems and potentially saving lives A Valentines Day walk is being planned to raise money for the Heart of Durham Appeal.

Being the charitable chap I am, (That and the fact my girlfriends away, and my friend Thomas and I have nothing better to do) I’m going to be taking part in this three legged three mile walk to make a bit of a fool of myself as well as raise some money for a good local cause. If anyone in the blogosphere would be able to contribute to sponsoring we and the people of Durham would be very grateful. I’m sure we’d be able to get some funny pictures to make it worth the while…
