2000 people per year lose their lives from aortic dissection in the UK.

The Aortic Dissection Charitable Trust is the UK and Ireland charity uniting patients, families and the medical community in a shared goal of improving diagnosis, increasing survival and reducing disability due to aortic dissection. 🫀

Sadly, aortic dissection is a medical condition that is hard to diagnose, challenging to treat, and deadly to many.

In February of 2026, my grandma was taken ill with a suspected infection, and after multiple hospital transfers was found to have an aortic dissection. After emergency surgery and six weeks in Intensive Care, fortunately she is back towards her old self. However, many are not so lucky.

Raising funds for aortic dissection is absolutely vital for research, awareness, and to ultimately stop more people from dying. 👏

As always, even just a fiver goes a long way, so anything you can give is always massively appreciated ❤️
