Take on a livestreaming challenge and raise money to stop people dying from heart diseases.

Join the #HeartStream!

25,000 people prematurely die from CHD every year in the UK. You can join the team raising £25,000 for Heart Research!

In May, you can take on your own livestreaming challenge to raise money for the prevention, treatment and cure of heart diseases.

Whether it’s a 24 hour challenge or one hour a day for 25 days, you can livestream to help keep hearts healthy.

Choose your challenge. Set up your fundraising page. And join the fight against heart diseases.

Once you have set up your fundraiser, we will send you a fundraising toolkit with top tips on how to get those donations.
