On Sunday 15th June, our intrepid Dr Pat set out to ride from London to Brighton on her bike to raise money for The British Heart Foundation.
This is her story.
2025 – the year to get fit. Why not put that effort to good use? I entered the ballot for fun as I love cycling and thought let us see some beautiful countryside while doing it. And why not raise some money for an amazing cause?!
Heart disease is the cause of one death every three minutes in the UK, a quarter of all deaths per year. That’s way too high in my eyes. I want to help do something about it, even in a tiny way!
Heart diseases. Stroke. Vascular dementia. Diabetes. They are all connected. I reckon one or more of these has touched one of your lives for sure.
Thousands of people every year are helped through the research the British Heart Foundation do. Research funded by everyday people like you. Every donation goes towards this amazing cause.
Dr Pat completed the ride and was thrilled to enjoy a well-deserved ice cream at the end!
So far, she has raised a staggering £910, smashing her initial £350 target.

Last year we formed the Ocean Village Dental Clinic Walkers and individually walked 100 km in March 2024 for the wonderful ‘Sands’ charity.
We raised an amazing £1254
The charity is close to our hearts. Thank you to all the team for your amazing efforts and for the fantastic support from all those that donated. It really helped motivate our walks.
Alongside The British Heart Foundation and Sands, we will be raising money for the Alzheimer’s Society. The Ocean Village Dental Clinic Walkers will be walking 26 miles of the Jurassic Coast on the 30th of August. Please donate what you can, every penny counts, and we need all the support we can muster. Thank you!
