Mark Knopfler and renowned horologist Michael English come together to auction six watches to raise money

Mark is the Patron of the children’s charity which is based in the North East of England and was founded to recognise the exceptional courage shown by children who are battling illness or adversity. Every penny donated to Brave Hearts helps us to keep recognising these remarkable children, making them and their families feel so special when overcoming illness.

Each year we hold an annual Fundraising Dinner and enter a team of runners into the Great North Run to raise money for the charity - where there is always an auction, raffle, the opportunity to purchase Brave Hearts merchandise and just to make a donation to the charity.
