September 29 is World Heart Day!


World Heart Day was founded in 2000 as a program with the World Heart Federation. It is the world’s biggest platform for raising awareness about cardiovascular disease (CVD), including heart disease and stroke. Each year, there are 1000s of events around the world to give information about how we can combat CVD because CVD is the most common cause of death worldwide. This year, the theme is “share the power” by inspiring each other to live longer, better, more heart healthy lives.
