Why take part in Heart Month?

In the UK, someone dies from a heart or circulatory condition every 3 minutes.

That’s why, this Heart Month, we're calling on everyone to help keep us beating.

Heart Month is an opportunity to raise awareness, take action and make a difference. Every challenge completed, donation made and lifesaving skill learned helps fund research and support breakthroughs that can save lives.

No matter how you choose to support BHF this Heart Month, your donations help fund lifesaving research that gives people more time with the ones with they love.

How can I get involved?
