< Previous60 LINCOLNSHIRE TODAY BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION Of the 7.4 million people living with heart or circulatory diseases in the UK, 460 die every single day. To put this in perspective, twenty-seven per cent of all deaths in the UK are caused by heart and circulatory disease, the annual healthcare cost of which is £9 billion. For six decades, the British Heart Foundation has been raising money to fund critical research. While there’s still a long way to go, we can all of us strive for a future which is free from the fear of these diseases. In 1961, cardiovascular diseases caused more than half of all deaths in the UK. Concerned doctors joined with philanthropists with the aim of unravelling some of the biggest mysteries of heart disease. And thus, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) was born. In that same year, Doctor Aubrey Leatham implanted the UK’s first internal pacemaker. Two years later, the BHF provided him with funding to improve the technology, laying the groundwork for the small, minimalist pacemakers of today. The charity continued to fund ground- breaking research in the years that followed. In 1965, Doctor Frank Partridge received a BHF grant to use a portable defibrillator in a UK ambulance for the first time. Now as well as being in every ambulance, these lifesaving machines can be found in public places, schools and supermarkets across the country. In 1969, surgeon Ronald Ross performed the first heart transplant in the UK following five years of BHF-funded research in transplant surgery techniques. Today, around two hundred heart transplants are carried out each year. Breakthroughs such as these continue to this day and are set for the decades ahead. By 2030, the charity wants to: see advances across the spectrum of heart and circulatory diseases; prevent these conditions from developing, and want those with existing conditions to have better, longer lives. As with historic achievements, these aims will only become a reality with funding in place, but BHF is not funded by the government and so is entirely reliant on the generously of its supporters. That’s where you can help. There are many ways of supporting the charity, Have a COVID-19 is the single greatest healthcare challenge of our times, but it shouldn’t eclipse the millions of people suffering with heart or circulatory diseases. As the British Heart Foundation turns sixty, it needs your support now more than ever. 63 Á heart 60-64.qxp_Layout 1 26/01/2021 12:13 Page 1LINCOLNSHIRE TODAY 61 BRITISH HEART FOUNDATION To donate, discover your heart age and find out more about diseases and risk factors, visit www.bhf .org.uk. 60-64.qxp_Layout 1 26/01/2021 12:13 Page 2www.mjp.supplies • Tel: 01406 362325 • Mobile 07702293727 MJPSupplies mjpsupplies For the purpose of importing and selling Algifol™ biostimulant products to farmers and growers of specialist crops Watch your profits grow Small quantities Amazing results Special offer on 1 litre bottles bought direct from our website 62 LINCOLNSHIRE TODAY Proudly serving the families of Gainsborough and the surrounding areas for over 5 years With sincere empathy and understanding, your loved ones as if they were our own.

The charity is also an official eBay store, meaning you can browse and shop from the comfort of your own home all the while raising funds for their vital work. Contributions can also be made by volunteering in stores. It’s a great experience whether you’re a teenager looking for work experience, a professional looking to give something back, or a pensioner in search of company.
