Losing someone to pulmonary hypertension is incredibly difficult, and for many families raising money in their memory becomes a way of marking a life and of helping others living with the condition. If that is something you are considering, we would be glad to help – at whatever pace feels right.
You can create a page in your loved one’s name and share it with family and friends, so that anyone who would like to give in their memory can do so in one place. You’ll also be able to see what has been raised.
To set one up, sign in to myPHA, our personal portal, and create your In memory of page. If you do not have an account yet, you can create one at the same time. Once it is set up, you will have a link you can share however you like – by email, in a message, or alongside funeral or celebration-of-life details.
Many families ask for donations in lieu of flowers, or include the PHA UK in a funeral or celebration-of-life collection. Friends and family can also make a donation at any time.
Some families organise something in the months or years that follow. Events in the past have included sponsored walks, tea parties and coffee mornings, and even skydives. Some choose to hold an annual event on a date that matters to them. It does not need to be large or strenuous to make a difference, and we can provide lots of support – including a free fundraising kit.

A gift in your Will is a special way of supporting people with PH long into the future.
You do not have to arrange anything alone, and there is no obligation to decide anything quickly. If you would like to talk it through, or you could do with some help or advice, please get in touch.
If you are grieving and would value support for yourself, our emotional wellbeing page has details of bereavement organisations, including a private Facebook group set up by a PHA UK member for people who have lost someone to PH.
