Help mend broken hearts
At the moment,
there's no cure for a broken heart.
Once your heart muscle is damaged by a heart attack, it can
never fully recover. But there is hope.
We need to spend £50 million to fund groundbreaking research
that could begin to literally 'mend broken hearts' in as little as
ten years time.
Your support can give hope to hundreds of thousands of people
across the UK.
Find out how you
can fundraise for Hope
Raise even more
However you decide to fundraise, remember to ask supporters to
Gift Aid their donations if they’re UK
taxpayers. This can make their donation worth 28% more, at no cost
to them!
Spread the word
Our Spread the
Word guide is full of helpful hints on how to publicise your
event and boost your fundraising.
By promoting it through local media and social networking
you're also inspiring others to fundraise and increasing
awareness of our urgent need for funds to help fight heart
disease.

Why Kayleigh did her own thing
When she was
nine weeks old, Kayleigh Sugden stopped breathing.
She spent four weeks in hospital before undergoing open heart surgery to close two holes in her
heart.
Kayleigh now lives the life of a normal
five-year-old but the scar on her chest, which she calls “her zip”,
is a constant reminder of her ordeal.
Together with her parents, Kayleigh organised
a charity fun day to celebrate the fifth
anniversary of her successful operation and raised an
amazing £1,727.
Kayleigh and her family said they wanted to
help in whatever way they could.
"Although we could never repay the BHF we
would like to think that we could help in some small way. We felt
it was time to start giving something back."
