CHELTENHAM
LOCAL
HERO
October’s Nominee’s
Steve and Christine Syer form part of the Cheltenham Branch
of the British Heart Foundation Fundraising Branch.
They have volunteered for them for 28 years, starting about 18
months after Steve received a heart transplant.
Over the years, they were responsible
for many fundraising events, including
the Cotswolds Bike Ride, which they
successfully ran for 22 years before it was
handed over to the BHF Events team.
During the years that they have been
volunteering for BHF, they have helped to
raise £1.7Million for the charity.
Quite simply, they are a fantastic couple
and take every opportunity to tell everyone
how lucky they are that Steve is still here
-30 years after his heart transplant.
Steve is about to go back onto the
transplant list – but this time, for his
kidneys.
The winner will be announced in
