Share your story - help save lives

Here at the British Heart Foundation, we need real stories to include in our educational and fundraising materials.

We also receive regular requests from the media wishing to speak to people who have been affected by heart disease.

Whether you have experienced a heart condition yourself, or been affected by the experiences of a close friend or family member, your story could help change and save lives.

At the moment, we are particularly looking for:

• Women under the age of 40 with experience of heart conditions
• Children and teenagers with experience of heart conditions
• Families where more than one member has been affected by heart disease

To send us your story, please choose from one of the following options:

• I am a heart patient
  
• My child is a heart patient
  
• A family member or friend of mine is a heart patient

If you would like to help raise awareness of heart disease, please click the link above that's relevant to you and a member of BHF staff will be in touch with you.

Information from this form will only be available to BHF staff for the purpose of matching your story to BHF publications or publicity and will only be used with your prior consent.

For more information, please contact us on 020 7754 0153 or email yourstory@bhf.org.uk

Got a story to tell?

We'll shortly be launching our annual Food4Thought campaign aimed at tacking childhood obesity. We're looking for people to support us.

We need families who have made lifestyle and diet changes; either to lose weight or because you have realised the importance of leading healthier lives.

You would need to be willing to support the campaign and be available for media work, most likely in the form of a phone interview for local newspapers or radio.

Your story really can make a difference in helping to tackle this serious health problem.

To find out more, please contact Alaina McGregor in the BHF Press Office on mcgregora@bhf.org.uk
