SIX TIMES OPEN is a campaign to raise 100K in a year for the British Heart Foundation, run by fraternal twins, Jonathan and David Stretton-Downes.

SIX TIMES OPEN was born out of the reality that Jonathan will be undergoing his sixth heart surgery later this year and wanted to turn this experience into something positive. The 12-month campaign intimately follows Jonathan and David as they prepare mentally and physically for the roller-coaster of a sixth heart operation, through the surgery itself and along the harsh road to recovery.

The aim of the campaign is twofold; to raise brand awareness and vital funds for the work of the British Heart Foundation and to inspire others in similar situations that events such as this don’t have to define who you are or dictate your life!

The campaign launched in London in November 2016, and will run for a calendar year until November 2017, culminating in a final event to celebrate the outcomes of the year.

We aim to raise 100K for the British Heart Foundation through numerous events, activities and corporate partnerships. Events are already being planned to take place both nationally and internationally by talented and committed friends, corporate partners and key sponsors who are all passionate about this cause.

In following the twins, there will be a 60 minute documentary created, a book authored by Jonathan titled “How to survive heart surgery” along with regular updates of events and occurrences through a blog and vlog throughout the campaign.
