February is synonymous with hearts thanks to Valentine’s Day so it seems apt that it is also National Heart Month, the British Heart Foundation’s annual campaign to raise awareness and funds. This year sees the launch of BEAT, BHF’s first ever national heart health code and lifestyle check with which our client Sportspark has become involved. One in three people in the UK have high blood pressure yet 5 million people are unaware they have it, so to encourage people to become aware of their heart and get to know their vital statistics, Sportspark is offering free BMI and Blood Pressure checks to all on 13th February. Head over and take the health of your heart into your own hands.
If you can’t make the date then you can always get involved with some fundraising. We’ll be having a Wear Red Day at our office on Friday 26th February (look out for the photographic evidence at the end of the month!) and asking everyone to donate. For more ideas check online at www.bhf.org.uk.
