FATHER and daughter Mark and Chloe Bonner, of Wisbech, were among 400 people who walked, jogged or cycled around a Cambridgeshire reservoir for Papworth Hospital.
Sunday’s event, on World Heart Day, was also designed to raise awareness about the importance of exercising to keep a healthy heart.
Participants walked, ran or cycled either a three, six or nine-mile course around Grafham Water reservoir. At the end they were presented with a goodie bag and medal.
Money collected through sponsorship by former patients, their families and friends, will go towards a target of �40,000 needed to buy two intra aortic balloon pumps.
The pumps help to decrease the workload of the heart and increase blood flow to the rest of the body, allowing a patient’s heart to rest and heal.
