The Jersey Heart Awards have been designed by the British Heart Foundation to recognize the outstanding contribution of Islanders playing a leading role in the local fight against cardiovascular disease, one of Jersey’s biggest killers.
Categories cover a range of different life-saving roles within the community, from those living with a condition and literally fighting the disease, to third-party individuals offering support and life-changing knowledge and advice to Islanders of all ages.
Summer Lister, Fundraising Manager for the BHF in the Channel Islands commented: “It is so important for us to recognize the heroes we have in Jersey, fighting on a daily basis against one of the Island’s biggest killers – heart disease. As well as fundraising for our life-saving research, there are some truly amazing individuals who go above and beyond to support and encourage healthy hearts within the community. As a collective, our mission is to win the fight against this heartless disease and Islanders are absolutely integral to this fight!”
