The equivalent of 330 Rugby teams die every year through heart related matters.
Large scale lotteries like the Heart Foundation Lottery are classified as Class 3 Gambling in the Gambling Act 2003 and under the Act, are not allowed to sell tickets using telephone, email or the internet. I have been personally fighting to change this for the last four years.
The government's Public Discussion Document proposes that a change to Class 3 would be considered a minor change to the current law and that Lotteries, like the Heart Foundation and Coastguard, are likely to have a minimal impact on potential gambling harms.
Could you please support this worthy cause

Hi neighbours
I work for Oscar out of school care and recreation. We were donated a Wii some time back but most of the games that came with it are R7 and up which we can't use as we have 5 year olds at our program. The only game we can play, which thankfully the children enjoy is Wii sport.… View moreHi neighbours
I work for Oscar out of school care and recreation. We were donated a Wii some time back but most of the games that came with it are R7 and up which we can't use as we have 5 year olds at our program. The only game we can play, which thankfully the children enjoy is Wii sport. However it would be great to get a copy of Mario Cart as the disk we have doesn't work but we do have the steering wheels. Any 'G' rated games anyone has but doesn't want would be greatly appreciated to add variety to the days when Wii is on the agenda.
Cheers
