Stories of real people living with heart disease

Nikki's story

Heart disease can affect anyone, even seemingly healthy women like Nikki, who was four months pregnant when she collapsed suddenly with heart complications.

Nikki was eventually diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, a condition she still lives with. While she remains upbeat, Nikki is also realistic and says some days living with an unpredictable heart condition is just plain tough.

“Your donations are incredibly important to ensure that this work continues, and many more lives are changed and saved. You allow people like myself and others to be there for their families and enjoy this rollercoaster of life.” - Nikki

Mum-of-two, Nikki, who suffers from atrial fibrillation

Cynthia's story

After having three heart attacks within 10 days, Cynthia had open heart surgery, to treat sudden coronary artery dissection (SCAD).

For Cynthia, a mother of two young children, it was not a question of how much she wanted to live – she knew she had to do everything she could to stay alive for her family.

"I think it’s important for us, as a society, to be part of things that help us all." - Cynthia
