PERRY S STORY Emma was the best sister. We were always together. I was five and Emma was 13. That evening she was going out and I said: See you later. That was the last thing I ever said to her. She collapsed and died that night. She had a problem with her heart that no one knew about. That s why I did a skydive for the BHF on what would have been Emma s 25th birthday. I don t want other families to suffer the same heartache we ve been through. It was my first event for the BHF. But it won t be my last.

For over 50 years we ve pioneered research that has transformed the lives of millions of people living with heart disease. Our work has been central to the discoveries of vital treatments that are changing the fight against heart disease. But heart and circulatory disease still kills around one in four people in the UK, stealing them away from their families and loved ones. From babies born with life threatening heart problems, to the many mums, dads and grandparents who survive a heart attack and endure the daily battles of heart failure. Join our fight for every heartbeat in the UK. Every pound raised, minute of your time and donation to our shops will help make a difference to people s lives.
