Go Red for
Heart and join in BHF campaign
RYEDALE sees 107 men and women on average die from heart disease every year, according to figures published by British Heart Foundation (BHF),
And in order to help support the fight against heart disease, the nation’s heart charity is urging people throughout the district to go Red for Heart and join in National Wear Red Day on Friday, February 24, to help raise vital funds.
Sharon Oakley, BHF Fundraising and Volunteer Manager in North Yorkshire, said: “Cardiovascular disease can affect anyone, young and old, perhaps a baby born with a hole in the heart or a friend or colleague who suffers a heart attack. Whether you have high blood pressure or high cholesterol we are working to ensure these conditions can one day be eliminated.
“There’s never been a better time to give a bit more thought to your own heart health – and that of the people you love – so get involved during National Heart Month by showing your red side.”
She added: “We need to raise vital funds in North Yorkshire to help care for people with heart disease, to support their families, to campaign on their behalf and to fund pioneering research to save lives.”
