Cholesterol Matters – Every Swap Counts

Swap the Scroll for a Stroll

Walk 50, 100 or 150 miles this October for HEART UK

This National Cholesterol Month, we’re swapping screen time for step time.

Join HEART UK – The Cholesterol Charity and take on a walking challenge throughout October by completing 50, 100 or 150 miles while raising awareness of high cholesterol — a major risk factor for heart attacks, strokes and vascular dementia.

Many of us spend hours every day scrolling on our phones, tablets and computers. But what if some of that time was swapped for movement, fresh air and positive action for heart health?

Whether you walk during your lunchbreak, take walking meetings, head out with family and friends, or simply swap short journeys for walking, every mile you complete can help make a difference.

“Every mile counts. Every step counts. Every swap counts.”

Nearly 1 in 2 adults in the UK has raised cholesterol, often without symptoms. By taking part and fundraising for HEART UK, you’ll help support vital awareness, education and support for people affected by high cholesterol and inherited conditions such as familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH).

Choose your challenge:

50 Miles – Starter

100 Miles – Challenger

150 Miles – Champion

Together, let’s move more for heart health this October.
