Today is the British Heart Foundation's Wear It. Beat It day. They've done it for quite a while now as an annual thing and as a big supporter of the British Heart Foundation, I thought I would do a little blog post about it.
Some Facts...
According the BHF website, one in four of our loved ones are lost to circulatory and heart disease.
Adults and children can both suffer with heart and circulatory conditions.
The BHF have pioneered life saving research for over 50 years and they have helped discover a whole host of treatments to help save peoples lives.
So, are you interested in joining the fight for every heartbeat? I hope so.
Here's What You Need To Know About Wear It. Beat It.
The idea of Wear It. Beat It is that you wear red to show your support.
You can incorporate red into your outfits by your clothes, your jewellery or accessories, maybe your shoes or your makeup.
I'm just writing a post about some ways to show your Wear It. Beat It support on your beautiful wee faces and I'll be posting that later tonight.
You can simply wear red throughout today and donate to the BHF but some people are going a step or two further with some awesome fundraising events. Whatever you are doing though, you have to Wear It.
The BHF website is full of fundraising ideas. Its obvs a bit late to be doing a fundraising event right now but you aren't limited to today. If you want you can stick with the themes and arrange something for another time - they'll never turn down a donation - and February is their BHF Heart Month after all.
Of course, you don't have to hold a fundraising event. You didn't even need to know that today was Wear It. Beat It. If you are in a position to and want to give money to the British Heart Foundation, then you can donate via their website or via your mobile phone.
You might even want to consider popping into one of their shops, too.
Lots of ways to help out then if you can and you want to. And if you can't right now, then don't worry - I just wanted to let everyone know about this so that they could if they were in a position to and felt so inclined.
