Abstract
The formation of the National Heart Foundation was preceded by events that fostered the development of a groundswell of enthusiasm for just such a community-based organisation. This vignette recalls the importance of a mixture of generosity of individuals, the involvement of the press, and the participation of people with ideas and a sense of leadership.
