Well done to all involved.”Lynn Preston, from Heartbeat’s fund-raising team, said: “Heartbeat would like to thank everybody who was involved. This amount of money could provide 20 local people 10 weeks cardiac rehabilitation in Penwortham.“Each week Heartbeat supports more than 800 local people with cardiac rehabilitation sessions in Preston and the surrounding areas which currently costs nearly £1m per year, all of which needs to come from voluntary donations. “Supermarket collections help us to raise vital funds and awareness of heart disease amongst the local community.
