(September
26th,
2019) The Cayman Heart Fund (CHF) recently received a generous
donation from BritCay in support of World Heart Day 2019.

On
Sunday September 29th
2019 the World will be celebrating World Heart Day. World Heart Day
is a global campaign during which individuals, families, communities
and governments around the world participate in activities to take
charge of their heart health and that of others. Cayman Heart Fund is
running two separate campaigns for World Heart Day 2019 as we
understand the importance of spreading awareness to our community.

Wear
Red campaign is about wearing RED on Friday September 27th
2019. It’s
no longer just about wearing red; it’s no longer just about sharing
heart health facts. It’s about making a commitment to stand
together with CHF and Wear Red, taking charge of their own heart
health as well as the health of those they can’t bear to live
without. Making a commitment to your health isn’t something
you have to do alone either, so grab a friend or a family member and
make a Cayman Heart Fund commitment today.

or tag us on facebook or Instagram @caymanheartfund.

Light the Sky Red is
an event will be held on World Heart Day, Sunday September 29th
2019 from 6pm – 9pm. This event is another day where we encourage
the community to come out wearing red and watch the sky light red in
honour of the Heart Warriors and Heart Heroes. It will be a great
night of awareness and raffle prizes by Cayman Crossfit, Eclipze Hair
Design & Day Spa, Bon Vivant and more. Do not miss it.

Lamar
Haynes BritCay Health Manager, said The Cayman Heart Fund is one of
the local non-profits who we applaud for their efforts to save lives
simply by educating the local population about heart and circulatory
diseases, and by providing access to life-saving cardiac equipment.
Heart disease is a major health challenge in the Cayman Islands, so
we hope that others in the community will see the value of
partnership with the CHF and join us in supporting their various
endeavours.

Dr.
Bella Beraha, CHF Chairperson, said we are thrilled and thankful for
the support shown by the community ahead of World Heart Day. Britcay
is strong supporter of the preventative medicine and we thank them
for their generous donation. The Cayman Heart Fund strives to educate
the public about Cardiovascular Disease; Donations such as these help
us to get closer to achieving the goal of eradicating heart disease
in the Cayman Islands.

fantastic way to remind everyone to focus on their hearts and
encourage them to get their families, friends and communities
involved. Make
