Whether you’re an undercover chocolate eater, a crafty nibbler or a full-on midnight fridge raider, deep down you know it’s time to dump the chunk and DECHOX.
Last year, more than 19,000 people took part in DECHOX, raising almost £800,000 in the fight against heart disease. The British Heart Foundation is calling on even more people to sign up to help us raise £1 million to help the 7 million people currently living with heart and circulatory conditions.
For over 50 years The British Heart Foundation has pioneered research that’s transformed the lives of people living with heart and circulatory conditions. Their work has been central to the discoveries of vital treatments that are changing the fight against heart disease. But so many people still need our help. From babies born with life-threatening heart problems to the many Mums, Dads and Grandparents who survive a heart attack and endure the daily battles of heart failure. Join the fight for every heartbeat in the UK. Every pound raised, minute of your time and donation to BFH shops will help make a difference to people’s lives.
TV Personality Shayne Ward is challenging the nation to join him and give up chocolate for March as he is calling on like-minded chocoholics to sign up to DECHOX and get sponsored to help raise £1million for life saving heart research.
“I didn’t think I was a chocoholic until I realised my occasional treat had become an everyday habit. The photoshoot was a lot of fun; I must admit I ate quite a lot of the chocolate props along the way!
“For self-confessed chocoholics like me, March is not going to be easy with Easter pending but the money raised will help the British Heart Foundation fund more research to help the millions of people fighting a daily battle with heart disease,” says Shane.
