Supporting the British Heart Foundation
Hi there,
I hope this all finds you well. This post is more to do with the fundraising that we are doing in the aid of the British Heart Foundation. In March of next year three member of the GiftsOnline4U team are planning to go to the Himalayas and trek to Mount Everest Base Camp in order to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. This trek will be gruelling and hard work but we want to give something back to the charity who does such wonderful things for so many people. The reason for this post is quite simply to see if you would like to donate to our cause? It’s probably a bit cheeky asking our readers to donate but we think that the British Heart Foundation are a really important charity and anything that we can do to help them we want to do! Here are some reasons why you should donate to the BHF:
- Every 2 minutes someone has a heart attack and only half survive
- Coronary heart disease claims around 94,000 lives each year
- Around 1 in 145 babies are born with congenital heart disease
- An estimated 2.5 million people in the UK live with heart disease
- Women are 3 times more likely to die of coronary heart disease than breast cancer
The money that you help to raise will enable the BHF to research and develop methods to help save lives, here are some of the ways that the money that you donate will help the BHF:
- Vital research into the causes of heart disease and attacks/preventions/medication
- The training and employment of BHF Heart nurses who provide care that improves the quality of life for heart patients
- Heart equipment
- Education/ Awareness campaigns
One important point to remember is that the team members involved in the trek will be funding the expense of the trek themselves so actually all the money that is donated with be going to charity! Every penny counts. If you would like to donate then please click on the link below and you can add you donation to this page. Thank you so much.
