This February, you can keep us beating by taking on a walking challenge or raising money to power lifesaving research.

Will you keep us beating?

Every 3 minutes, someone in the UK dies from cardiovascular disease.

Whether it's losing a loved one to cardiac arrest or coping with the devastating impact of heart failure, far too many of us have felt the pain that cardiovascular diseases cause.

This Heart Month, support BHF and help bring us closer to the next breakthrough. Whatever you do to raise money, together we can power research that supports people to live longer, healthier lives.

Caoimhe is here with the help of pacemaker advances

Caoimhe was fitted with a pacemaker at 20 years old. Two years later, she took part in Walk for Hearts to raise money for BHF. She now wants to work in research that supports heart health.
