Wear red... - a photo on Flickriver

Wear red...

            Many of you know I lost my brother to a brain tumour almost 4 years ago but what you don't know is that when he was born, he was born with a major heart condition. He had open heart surgery at about 8 weeks old where he was given a 50% chance of making it. When he was a teenager the operation was repeated, though progress in research and his age made the operation a lot less risky. 

My brother was truly a miracle. When he got the tumour, he wondered how many people there could be in the world like him, suffering both. In my eyes he was truly unique and I thank the BHF for giving me 29 years of knowing of him. 

Please support the British Heart Foundation today.

"Everyone’s going Red for Heart for National Heart Month this February. So don’t be surprised if you see people sky diving in top-to-toe red. Or wearing their red pyjamas to school. It’s all in aid of the British Heart Foundation. And we’d love you to join in.

We’re a charity dedicated to saving lives through pioneering research, patient care and by providing vital information but we urgently need your support.

What will you do?

You can do anything you like. Challenge your office or school to National Wear Red Day on Friday 26 February. Bake red cakes. Paint your face red. Anything goes as long as it’s red! Our free fundraising kit comes complete with posters, stickers, a collection box and lots of novel ideas.
