Heart failure strikes at anytime but more so during the holidays when fatal heart attacks make the season deadly for many. The Sports Techie community blog is thus respectfully sharing the launch of an NFT project to raise money for heart failure charities by PUL3E founder, Emilie Wright, when it launches Tuesday, December 21st at 9pm UTC / 4 pm EST. Wright, started this woman-led project after her partner was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy at just 31. The PUL3E NFTs are a collection of 7,676 unique 3D models of the human heart and true-to-life ECG pattern, showcasing a range of heart conditions and abnormalities. The goal right now is to generate some awareness of the project before it goes live tomorrow here: https://www.pul3e.io
PUL3E
PUL3E is an NFT (Non-Fungible Token) project founded by Emilie and her partner Andrew, creating unique digital art on the Ethereum blockchain. In April 2021 Andrew was hospitalized and diagnosed with both severe Dilated Cardiomyopathy and acute Heart Failure. The story continues by stating he was, up until around 3 weeks before his hospital admission, otherwise healthy and active. Like many of our readers and followers that have gone through medical conditions of the heart amongst themselves and loved ones, their family’s world has been turned upside-down since his diagnosis and illness, and there are many more hurdles to overcome.
PUL3E is launching in December 2021. The company have pledged to donate 5-10% of all proceeds raised from selling their NFT art to Heart Failure charities.
Emilie said, “Since our lives have completely changed through Andrew’s diagnosis, my mission has been to raise awareness and funds for heart charities: in particularly UK-based charities who have supported Andrew and I throughout the past year. Being in our thirties, we are both passionate about helping to fund lifesaving and life-changing research being carried out by charities going forward, as we are hopeful that in Andrew’s lifetime there may come to light more treatment options and possibilities.”
NFTs – Close To The Heart
Emilie, their Project Lead, was already active in the Cryptocurrency and NFT space prior to Andrew’s diagnosis. When he became ill, however, she felt a passion ignite to combine her existing knowledge and awareness of NFT’s and her passion for supporting Andrew and others. Emilie is also extremely passionate about being a woman in the NFT space, advocating for more women-led projects to be brought to the forefront, and for women artists and project leads to be celebrated in the industry.
The NFT mint price will be 0.06 ETH, currently around $235/£177. They are also giving away some really incredible random prizes to minters including ETH and a Mutant Ape Yacht Club NFT currently worth $30,000.
Heart Charities
Charities becoming involved in and receiving donations from cryptocurrency and NFT projects is still a relatively new, innovative, and progressive concept. It would be great if we could take the lead in championing this and target an entirely fresh demographic to bring attention to the cause. I am already part of the NFT community on social media and marketplaces, and sales are booming. There are many potential buyers who also support and back charitable causes. In recent weeks we have seen announcements from huge international brands like Adidas, Manchester City Football Club and NBA collaborating, partnering, and getting involved in the NFT space. This is a unique opportunity for us to continue to advocate for charities and the exceptional work they already do in an innovative way, moving us all further into the digital age!”

Sports Techie, research shines light on the number of fatal heart attacks occurring during the holidays. A UCSD study by researchers indicts more cardiac arrests happen on Christmas day than any other day during the year. The numbers peak on New Year’s Day as well.
Stress, skipping medications and exercise, along with postponed doctor visits are real life happenings during the holidays as are too much drinking, smoking and a high-salt diet. This can lead to high blood pressure, and congestive heart failure or heart attacks.
Heart disease can also flare during the holiday season. Blood clots can also result.
The best thing to do if these conditions occur is to recognize the symptoms – chest pain or discomfort, shortness of breath and pain in the shoulders, neck, jaw, arm or back. Even lesser symptoms need to be watched such as nausea, sweat and fatigue, or a feel something is off internally. If it happens, go seek medical treatment early or immediately call 911, if need be.
My Grandpa Roble died of a heart attack when I was a teenager and I remember the pain it caused my Grandma, father and his siblings, and me. Please, time is muscle as is said in the cardiology world. Be aware and act when needed.
Like Emilie, Andrew and countless others around the globe, empathy for dear ones close to the heart is paramount to taking action. This holiday season as perhaps a last second Christmas gift, take heartfelt action and purchase some special NFT art by PUL3E for Heart Failure charities here: https://www.pul3e.io.
NFTs are becoming close to the heart.
My heart goes out to y’all no matter what.
Merry Christmas!
See you later sportstechie in Seattle, Atlanta and around the world!
