Story

Welcome to the Team HEART UK London Marathon 2023 fundraising page.

Almost half of UK adults have raised cholesterol which can lead to heart disease. The funds you raise will help us to raise awareness of the dangers of high cholesterol throughout the UK; campaign for improved screening, identification, and treatment of people with raised cholesterol and help us support those diagnosed with either inherited or non-inherited high cholesterol and help reduce their risk of heart disease.

HEART UKs website information is my bible, and it has helped me to change my life. Having kidney disease and an underactive thyroid, I was having my yearly blood test which picked up that I had high cholesterol total score 7.9. I was told over the phone by a trainee GP. I was terrified I was heading for a heart attack or stroke.

Were so proud of our achievements during the pandemic in 2021/22, thanks to your support.

Watch our Impact Video which shows how our work has brought about some significant changes to prevent premature disease and death from cholesterol and other blood fat conditions.

It is thanks to your donations, that we are able to continue our vital work.

Thank you.
