We are all taking part in Tough Mudder Scotland to raise money for Heart UK, in an attempt to raise awareness about Hypercholestrolemia. 

On December 5th 2012, Grant Lees, a much loved son, brother and friend to many died due to undetected hypercholestrolemia without any signs or symptoms. 

Grant was only 35 years old, he was a fit and healthy individual. Hypercholestrolemia is the 'silent killer'  it occurs in about one person in every 500 and is one of the most frequently occurring inherited conditions. It is caused by an abnormal gene resulting in exceptionally high cholesterol levels. High cholesterol levels start from birth and are present throughout life. More than 120,000 people in Britain have the problem. 

HEART UK are passionate about preventing premature deaths caused by high cholesterol

They are committed to raising awareness about the risks of high cholesterol, lobbying for better detection of those at risk & supporting health professional training. 

So please dig deep and donate now.
