Story
Heart disease is the nations single biggest killer. We know research works but the 7.4million people living with cardiovascular disease in the UK need it to work faster.
My dad has suffered two heart attacks, one only as recent as May 2022. Heart disease runs in the family as sadly my Granddad and Uncle both passed away from heart problems, my other uncle has needed a bypass, and my dad still suffers as a result of his heart attacks. This unfortunately means that me or my two brothers will most likely have complications at some point in time and potentially my daughter or nephews. The work Heart Research do contributes tremendously to the advances in prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease which will hopefully mean me and my family don't suffer in future.
The advances so far are fantastic, 50 years ago more than 70% of heart attacks ended in death compared to 70% surviving today....Hopefully the money I raise will go towards improving this stat further.
