Learn more about why the fund was created and how it’s helped people affected by HCM.
Miles Frost Fund
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) took the life of Miles Frost, Sir David Frost's son, without warning. In his memory, BHF and the Frost family set up the Miles Frost Fund. The UK-wide programme aimed to increase access to genetic testing services for people suspected of having an inherited cardiomyopathy.
