Every three minutes, someone in the UK dies from cardiovascular disease.
Ahead of World Heart Day, we set up a giant egg-timer on London's Southbank, bringing to life the urgent reality of cardiovascular deaths across the UK.
The timer has been unveiled by Rivals actress Lisa McGrillis and her best friend Mary Cann, after Mary lost her husband Nigel suddenly last year.
Nigel was only 47 years old and on his way to play padel when his heart stopped one Tuesday evening with seemingly no warning. In his memory, Lisa and Mary have raised over £19,500 for our lifesaving research ❤️
