Beat It<\/em><\/strong> events in workplaces, schools and community settings to raise awareness of CHD and support the British Heart Foundation.<\/p>\n<p>Many people will be doing something this Friday, February 5th, but you can take part in a challenge or organise a fund-raiser anytime during the month. Go to the <a href=\"https:\/\/wearitbeatit.bhf.org.uk\/about\/\">Foundation\u2019s \u00a0website<\/a> to sign up, receive a free fundraising kit, and discover some great ideas on how to get involved. \u00a0The website is crammed with information on CHD and lots of real-life stories to help you engage with the Foundation\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p>Here are some ideas for an office-based fundraiser:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hold a Wear Red to Work day, where everyone gets the chance to dress down for the day on the condition that they wear something red and make a donation<\/li>\n<li>Make hand-made Valentine cards and sell them to colleagues, friends and family<\/li>\n<li>Invite everyone to a Come Dine Red with Me evening. All participants bring a red-themed dish, for example a rich casserole with red wine or a delicious strawberry mousse. It\u2019s a great way to practise your cooking skills and raise money at the same time!<\/li>\n<li>If you\u2019re brave, dye your hair red for the month and collect money for the BHF<\/li>\n<li>Bring an exercise bike into work and keep it spinning for an hour, a morning or even a whole day. Colleagues chip in to sponsor those who are cycling!<\/li>\n<li>If you or your company have a link with a gym or fitness centre, organise a tournament around a sport everyone can play. You can charge a few pounds for players and spectators alike.<\/li>\n<li>Organise a bake sale, showcasing everyone\u2019s talents. Watch the money roll in!<\/li>\n<li>Hold a morning\u2019s sponsored silence while wearing red. Great for a bit of peace and quiet\u2026<\/li>\n<li>This month gives us the perfect excuse to sip a glass of red wine and even hold a Red Wine Tasting Evening!\u00a0 Red Wine is good for the heart &#8211; but only in moderation!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to turn your event red with the resources you\u2019ll find in your kit.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t forget, whatever you do, share it!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Around 2.6 million people in the UK live with Coronary Heart Disease (CHD).\u00a0 We all have a heart so we can all show our concern about CHD by supporting National Heart Month During February.
