Irish Heart Month, September 2011

This September the Irish Heart Foundation’s Heart Month Campaign will focus on men. More men die from heart attack and stroke than any other cause of death. As part of Heart Month, the Irish Heart Foundation will lead out on a nationwide TV advertising campaign encouraging men to know about the signs of a heart attack and to call 999 before it’s too late.

A resource for men informing them of how they can make positive lifestyle changes and limit their risk of heart attack will be widely available.

The Irish Heart Foundation is asking you to support and promote the campaign by:

• Ordering and displaying Heart Month materials
• Distribute Heart Month materials to men
• Include a piece on Heart Month on your organisation website or newsletter.
• Host an event for men (and friends and family)
