Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
At the beginning of the year, I lost my Aunty Susan when she died suddenly due to a aneurysm; which caused a catastrophic bleed on the brain. This caused blood vessels to burst and the vessels and veins to weaken due to high blood pressure. There was little warning before this incident occurred, it was very sudden. She was only 55 years old.
Susan's husband Donovan, has suggested donations in place of flowers to Blood Pressure UK, will be kindly and gently received at this very difficult time. So on behalf of our family and friends I wanted to raise money for the national charity Blood Pressure UK to educate and raise awareness about the seriousness of the disease and to help the many sufferers of the disease monitor their symptoms and stay healthy.
Every penny raised for Blood Pressure UK counts. They rely on voluntary donations to carry out our work.
Blood Pressure UK aim to reduce the number of people affected directly by preventable death and disability from heart disease, heart attacks and stroke caused by high blood pressure.
Please give generously to this charity in memory of my Aunty Susan to help them continue their work and save others.
