Heart and circulatory diseases cause a quarter of all deaths in the UK, that's more than 160,000 deaths each year – an average of 460 deaths each day or one every three minutes in the UK. There are around 7.6 million people living with a heart or circulatory disease in the UK: 4 million men and 3.6 million women.

Having seen the effects of heart disease within my own family, I would like to support this charity to raise awareness and educate people to take control of their heart health.
