World Heart Day wants you to look after your heart

Sunday 29 September marks World Heart Day

The world’s attention has been fixed on the UN High-level Meeting on Non comunicable diseases (NCD) taking place in New York this week. Fittingly, the meeting leads up to World Heart Day on Sunday 29 September

In support of our Friends at the World Heart Federation and the NCD community, we encourage you to support the My Heart, Your Heart campaign and help to spread the word about heart-healthy lifestyles.

This year’s global campaign focuses on looking after our own hearts, and the hearts of our loved ones. It’s about saying to ourselves, the people we care about and individuals all around the world, “what can I do right now to look after MY HEART...and YOUR HEART?”
