We are delighted to announce the release of our film Detect the Undetected: Find Me. This compelling film showcases real-life stories of three remarkable couples who share their journey of recognising heart failure symptoms, urging their loved one to seek medical attention, which, in many cases, was a crucial step in saving their lives. #FindMe #IWasFound @thebeautifultruthmag

Life is difficult isn’t it? There’s such a balance between being the person you perceive yourself to be, the person others perceive you to be, and the person you are trying to be. I think it’s important to be cognisant and reflective of the differences

Full film coming 28 April @beautifultruthmag #FindMe #IWasFound
