We got some press in the <a href="http://www.halifaxtoday.co.uk/ViewArticle.aspx?SectionID=700&ArticleID=1822020">Halifax Evening Courier:</a><br /><br /><blockquote>A new cardiac rehabilitation exercise centre is to open in Brighouse next week and could be extended to other areas of Calderdale.<br /><br />The scheme is run by health professionals and Cardiac Rehabilitation through Exercise and Walking.<br /><br />It will be open to all CREW members and some patients referred by their GP or Calderdale Royal Hospital.<br /><br />Calder Valley Labour MP Chris McCafferty said: "As a patron of CREW, I know the importance of exercise in recovering from serious illnesses and in preventing them in the first place.<br /><br />"The British Heart Foundation has provided great support with a grant so the class can run for at least 12 months."<br /><br />To complement the centre's work, a walking group has also been set up in Brighouse organised by Brian Birkby.<br /><br />Heart disease kills 110,000 people in England every year and Mrs McCafferty said she would like to see similar schemes introduced throughout the Calder Valley.<br /></blockquote><a href="http://www.halifaxtoday.co.uk/ViewArticle.aspx?SectionID=700&amp;ArticleID=1822020"><br /></a>RichBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11888829068302301699noreply@blogger.com
