Donate Cryptocurrency to Heart Research UK
Your cryptocurrency donations have the power to save lives. Until there are no more deaths from heart diseases.
1 in 3 people receiving a Heart Research UK health check are referred to their GP for undiagnosed high blood pressure and/or cholesterol.
With your support we can hold more heart health check events across the UK.
One health check event costs approximately £2,250 to provide comprehensive health check assessments for 34 people, including blood pressure, cholesterol, body composition analyses, and tailored lifestyle advice from our health heart coaches.
In 2023, 66% of people had blood pressure readings outside the healthy range, and 62% had cholesterol readings outside the healthy range, putting them at an increased risk of heart diseases.
Your donation can help us run more healthy heart checks across the country and help more people at risk of heart diseases.
