THE British Heart Foundation (BHF) is calling on people in Farnham to take part in a world record attempt and help fund lifesaving research, by visiting their local BHF shop.

Heart shaped messages have been filling BHF shop windows in the run up to Valentine’s Day for over a decade, but this year the public also have the chance to have their personal messages displayed in a record-breaking chain of paper hearts.

The BHF are attempting to break the world record for the longest chain of paper hearts, which currently stands at 8,525, as a mark of solidarity for the seven million people in the UK fighting a daily battle with heart and circulatory disease.

To get involved and become a record-breaker, pop along to Farnham’s BHF shop in The Borough, make a donation towards lifesaving heart research and write a message on a World Record heart to be included in the impressive final chain.

“What you write on the hearts could be anything from a thank you or dedication in memory of someone, to a message for a loved one, best friend, family member, work bestie or even your pet,” said a BHF spokesman.
