At just 22, Faith, an online fitness coach and keen athlete, suffered a devastating heart attack while driving home after playing in a hockey match. In this episode, Faith bravely tells Rob Underwood her story and talks about the impactful heart related challenges she’s since faced along the way. She's also passionate about inspiring others on a similar journey, whilst raising awareness surrounding heart health, particularly among younger people.
For over 60 years, British Heart Foundation has pioneered decades of advances in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart attack, providing hope to people like Faith. But we have so much more to do. As a charity, BHF depends on the generosity of donors so that we can keep funding lifesaving research into all heart and circulatory diseases. Thank you to all those who already give. If you too would like to donate, you can do so by going to bhf.org.uk/donatepod.
Meanwhile, if you have any questions or concerns about your own heart or circulatory health and would like to talk to a cardiac nurse on the BHF’s free Heart Helpline, go to our website at bhf.org.uk/hearthelpline where you'll find all the contact options.
