Croí, the heart and stroke charity, was delighted to collaborate with some of the most iconic and historic buildings, organisations and landmarks throughout the west region to celebrate World Heart Day on 29th September 2024.
The illuminations are organised in support of the World Heart Federation’s (WHF) campaign urging all countries to have a ‘National Cardiovascular Action Plan’ to tackle heart disease, the world’s number one killer. Marking this year’s World Heart Day with the launch of a global online petition, the WHF hopes the call to action will inspire a more robust and coordinated response to cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is responsible for more than 20.5 million deaths every year.
