Story

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation and I'd be so grateful for your support. My father Charles, was passionate about the ability of applying scientific method to drive change. Heart surgery and management saved his life and enabled him to live to 97. Our family has chosen to support BHF so that others can benefit from their work.

The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK but sadly every day hundreds of people lose their lives. It's only thanks to support from people like us that the BHF can create new treatments and discover new cures. £24 could pay for two hours of research by an early career scientist, but every pound helps so please give what you can to help me hit my target. Thanks!
