The British Heart Foundation strives to fight for everybody who suffers from a heart condition, from supporting babies born with life-threatening heart problems, to the many parents and grandparents who survive a heart attack and continue with their lives enduring the daily struggles of heart failure. BHF research has helped support people’s lives; however, there are still many people that need their help.

Universal team members focussed on a story about a woman named Shannon who was diagnosed with CPVT (an abnormal heart rhythm that can lead to cardiac arrest) at just 14 years old. On February 6th they dressed up as teenagers whilst wearing red in order to raise awareness that heart conditions can affect those of all ages. Thanks to everyone’s generous donations they excelled their £70.00 target by 112%!

Annie Johnson, Marketing Assistant stated: “It was great fun dressing as teenagers; the office had a great atmosphere that day. Some were dressed as the typical ‘moody teenager’ whilst others were the ‘excessive happy’ teenager! Excelling our target for a second year running is great news and I’m glad we get to help such a good charity”
