Our Mission
Why Heart to Heart exists.
Heart to Heart is dedicated to preventing heart disease and supporting those living with it. By raising awareness of the key risk factors — poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, and stress — we help people make healthier choices and lower their risk of cardiovascular disease.
For those already diagnosed, we offer emotional support and real resources. Through education, community outreach, and advocacy, we work to reduce the impact of heart disease and help people live healthier, fuller lives.
someone dies from heart disease — the world's leading cause of death. It is also largely preventable. That is where we focus.
Why it matters
Heart disease is everyone's fight.
One person dies from heart disease every 33 seconds, making it the leading cause of death worldwide. It affects people of every age, background, and income — placing a heavy burden on families and communities, both emotionally and financially.
But here is the critical piece: heart disease is largely preventable. By focusing on prevention, we can change the outcome for countless people. And for those already affected, our work is just as vital — offering not only guidance but emotional support, so no one faces heart disease alone.
It is not just about reducing numbers. It is about saving lives — by preventing the disease in the first place, and by improving life for those already living with it.
What We Do
Events, fundraisers, and education.
