Mayor joins walkers in heart disease fund-raiser

British Heart Foundation supporters were welcomed by the mayor, Cllr Maggi Clark, who also took part.

Rotherham’s Heart Town status encourages healthier living to beat coronary heart disease while supporting the charity’s research.

Branch treasurer Lawrence Clarke said: “Taking part in events like this helps the BHF continue to save lives every day.

“Walking is the perfect way for people of all ages and abilities to keep their hearts healthy. It’s also a lot of fun.

“Thank you to everyone who took part. Your sponsorship will make a big difference in helping to beat heart disease for good.”

The BHF has helped transform the lives of people living heart and circulatory conditions for more than half a century.
