I'm helping to keep hearts beating this Heart Month by taking on the Walk for Hearts challenge throughout February to help fund lifesaving research. Every three minutes, someone in the UK dies from cardiovascular disease. With your support, British Heart Foundation can power research that will enable people to live longer, healthier lives.

After receiving an emergency quadruple heart bypass at Liverpool heart and lung hospital in March 2023 , my health has vastly improved and my life has changed , without research and the hard work of everyone involved, I may never have reached my 56th birthday just 3 days after my initial heart attack. I am forever grateful and in awe.
