❤️ You can be fit, healthy and doing everything right. But sometimes life has other plans.
We're incredibly proud to share this BBC News article about our very own Rob Hart, who works with us here at Impartial Financial Management.
Many of you will know Rob, but perhaps not everyone knows his story.
A former professional American football player who was on the books of several NFL teams, Rob has always taken his fitness seriously. Even after retiring from the sport, he continued running marathons and completing 100km charity challenges.
Yet earlier this year, at just 51 years old, Rob suffered a stroke.
It came as an enormous shock to Rob, his family and all of us.
Thankfully, Rob is now using his experience to help others, supporting important stroke research that could make a real difference to people's lives. We're enormously proud of him for that. ❤️
But there's another side to this story that we wanted to share.
Rob is the SECOND person in our small family business to have needed to claim on a critical illness insurance policy in just five years.
Think about that for a moment.
Two people. One small family business. Five years.
We spend our working lives helping people protect their homes, their income and their families. We always hope that the insurance policies we arrange will never be needed.
But sometimes they are.
Critical illness insurance can't prevent a stroke, cancer or another serious illness. It can't take away the worry or uncertainty. But it can provide something incredibly valuable — financial security at a time when you need it most.
It can mean not having to worry quite so much about the mortgage, the household bills or how your family will cope financially while you concentrate on recovering.
Rob's experience has brought home to all of us just how quickly life can change, even when you're fit, active and seemingly healthy.
So please, take a few minutes to think about the protection you and your family have in place.
Would it be enough if something unexpected happened tomorrow?
At Impartial Financial Management, we're a family business ourselves. We understand just how important looking after your loved ones really is.
If you're unsure whether you have the right protection, we're always happy to have a chat. No pressure, no hard sell, just honest, straightforward advice.
💙 PLEASE SHARE ROB'S STORY.
Not because we're looking for business, but because it might encourage just one person to check their insurance, put some protection in place or simply take their health more seriously.
And if sharing this helps just one family avoid financial hardship at an already difficult time, it will have been worth it.
We're proud of you, Rob. ❤️
