What your donations have achieved

The information contained in this website is not a substitute for medical advice or treatment, and TICR recommends consultation with your doctor or other health care professional if you have worries about your cardiovascular health.

The TICR Appeal has raised more than £7 million over the years of its existence thanks to donations from individuals, Charities and Foundations. This money has gone to fund the salaries of key researchers, projects such as clinical trials of new drugs, Biomarker studies looking for new ‘predictors’ of early disease, refurbish laboratories with state of the Art facilities, and key equipment. The pictures below show some of the people and items supported. We are very grateful.
