Happy Heart Weekend 2011 - May 12th, 13th and 14th of May 2011

A huge heartfelt thanks to all of our volunteers and everyone who supported us for Happy Heart Weekend 2011!

Here is what is it all about.

Where your money will go!

F.A.S.T.

Last year just before Happy Heart Weekend we launched our F.A.S.T. campaign which was hugely successful! We began this campaign to raise awareness about the symptoms of stroke for people all over Ireland. This way more people can get to hospital quickly for the treatment that they need and more lives can be saved!

Success!

The campaign was a real success and there has been an 87% increase in people getting to the hospital for the treatment they so desperately need.

Heart Attack Symptoms - we will save even more lives!

This year for Happy Heart Weekend we are saving all of our euros and putting it into a new life saving awareness campaign. We want to achieve even better results and save even more lives with our new Heart Attack Awareness campaign. We believe that by teaching more people how to recognise the signs of a heart attack they can get to a hospital even quicker and survive!! Read and learn more about heart attacks.
