Former Rangers player and manager Graeme Souness has shown support for a Rangers charity partnership.
Graeme Souness has personal experience of heart disease and understands first-hand how important the lifesaving research the BHFS helps to fund is.
He said: “I was diagnosed with coronary heart disease at 38 and had a triple bypass. When I was diagnosed, I was extremely fit. I never thought I’d be the type of person to get heart disease, but if it can happen to me, it can happen to anyone. “Ten years later, I had a stent fitted as another one of my arteries had become blocked. Then in November 2015, I was rushed to hospital after suffering a heart attack at home.
“Thankfully, I’m now OK, but without the research, the BHF has helped fund into heart and circulatory diseases, it could have been a different story.”The partnership will also encourage at least 50,000 people, the capacity of Ibrox Stadium, to learn lifesaving CPR via the BHFS’s free online tool, RevivR.
