Wear red to raise cash for the BHF

- Michelle Bailey British Heart Foundation Area fundraisin­g manager North West

EVERY year, heart and circulator­y disease kills around 18,000 in the North West and currently, 843,600 people in the region are living with its burden.

The need to find new ways to prevent, diagnose and treat these terrible conditions is more urgent than ever.

That’s why I’m calling on everyone to take part in the British Heart Foundation’s (BHF) Wear it. Beat it. campaign.

Join thousands of others across the UK on Friday, June 9, by wearing red and holding a fundraisin­g event to help us stop heart disease in its tracks.

From a bake sale or coffee morning at work to a red-themed garden party with friends and family, whatever you choose to do, Wear it. Beat it. is a great way to bring everyone together and help make a difference to millions.

You will be also be helping the BHF fund even more cutting-edge breakthrou­ghs that will help end the devastatio­n caused by heart disease.

Last year more than 15,000 people took part in Wear it. Beat it., raising over £750,000.
