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.

Having recently survived my second heart attack and a stroke, I have gained a deep appreciation for the dedication and innovation behind the technology and care that make survival possible. I want to give back in whatever small way I can. This is a modest contribution, but it is given gladly and with heartfelt thanks and gratitude.

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.
