Take a look at how fantastic last year's party was! Tunnel of Love 2011 All of the proceeds from Tunnel of Love will support our Mending Broken Hearts Appeal. At the moment, there's no cure for a broken heart. Once your heart is damaged by a heart attack, it can never fully recover. But there is hope. The BHF aims to spend £50 million to fund groundbreaking research that could begin to literally 'mend broken hearts' in as little as ten years’ time. If you would like to support Tunnel of Love and be a part of our extraordinary fundraiser, call us on - tel: 020 7554 0320 If you would like to make a donation and support our life-saving work, please contact us.
