Being active can help you fight heart disease – whatever your age.

Jean, 87, has osteoporosis and curvature of the spine. These days she finds it hard to get about without her mobility scooter but she’s determined to stay as active as possible – and to keep her independence.

Jean’s story is part of Get up and go, a new series from BHF.

Six inspiring individuals share their stories of getting - and staying - active as they age.
