Story

Thanks for visiting my page. I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation and I'd be so grateful for your support. The BHF has helped halve the number of people dying from heart and circulatory disease in the UK, but over 900,000 people in the UK are still living with heart failure. Heart and circulatory diseases cause more than a quarter of all deaths in the UK, that’s more than 160,000 deaths each year – an average of 450 deaths each day or one every three minutes in the UK.

Previously, I did a fundraising challenge of climbing Mt Snowdon for Stroke Association, which is connected to heart problems. Strokes cause around 34,000 deaths in the UK each year and are the biggest cause of severe disability.

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!

My brother is currently raising money for Cancer Research UK by running 1,000 laps of his garden in April 2021, please visit his site at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/HariLefley and consider making a donation. Thank you.
