**In memory of Jim Burns**

NICHS have been leading the fight against chest, heart and stroke illnesses in Northern Ireland since 1946.

When combined, these illnesses are the number one cause of deaths of those aged under 75 in Northern Ireland, with 14 deaths a day.

We do this by working across four main areas:

• We provide expert CARE and support to anyone living with a chest, heart or stroke condition.
• We work to PREVENT these illnesses, by helping detect early warning signs and empowering individuals to make healthy choices.
• We fund RESEARCH to advance how we treat, care for and prevent these conditions.
• We CAMPAIGN for better care, treatments and awareness of chest, heart and stroke conditions.

Your support will not only be helping to fund life-changing research, but also caring for the thousands of local people living here who are affected by devastating health conditions. As a charity, our work relies heavily on the generosity of the public as almost 90% of everything we do is funded exclusively by public donations. Thank you for caring.
