Celebrating One Year at A Hearty Life
One year ago this month, A Hearty Life was born. Since then, I have written 552 posts talking about the heart and the strange and wonderful things we humans do to it. Strange because it seems that more people than I ever thought get stabbed in the heart every day, including Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin. Wonderful because cardiovascular medicine has advanced steadily over the years, such as the use of statins, stents, and advanced imaging.
To celebrate A Hearty Life’s first anniversary, I will be donating US$1 per 1,000 page views for the month of March. In February, readers viewed over 50,000 pages. I hope to increase that even further this month and make a sizeable donation to the British Heart Foundation. I’ve selected the British Heart Foundation because I currently live in London, UK and want to donate to the community.
Thank you all for the continued support. I always love to hear from you in the comments or via email. Please help me spread the word and invite everyone you know to come read A Hearty Life. It will not only be good for their health, but also good for public health.
