NO-ONE can be prepared for the impact heart disease can have on you or someone you know.
Living with heart disease can be frightening and people don't always receive the support that they need. That's why the British Heart Foundation (BHF) aims to make sure that care is provided whenever and wherever it is needed.
With your help the BHF's Valentine Appeal is aiming to raise £1m to help fund BHF Heart Nurses and the charity's Heart Information Line, to support more heart patients and their families.
The BHF has a range of ways that you can support the appeal.
STUCK ON YOU - You've probably seen them covering the windows of your local BHF shop and now the charity is giving you the chance to bring the love notes sensation into your workplace, school or group.
Order a free pack from the BHF and then for £1 your colleagues, students or friends can write their message on the heart shaped love note and stick it to the poster supplied. If you fill up the poster you could raise £50 or more for the Valentine Appeal.
