Heart Month 2026

This February, thousands of you helped to keep us beating by taking on a walking challenge or raising money for lifesaving research.

You helped to 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, thousands of you supported BHF and helped bring us closer to the next breakthrough. Whatever you did to raise money, your actions will help power research that supports people to live longer, healthier lives. Thank you.

We hope you'll join us again next February for Heart Month 2027!

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.
