This August, I’m walking 7,000+ steps a day for 31 days to support Australians impacted by heart disease. I'm doing it for all the patients I meet through my job as a Secretary at Global Cardiology

Fundraising is a way for me to show my support for them and raise awareness for heart disease. I need your help to make every step count. Your donation will help fund life-saving research and support for those affected by heart disease.

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is an umbrella term that includes heart and blood vessel diseases (e.g. coronary heart disease), and stroke, it is one of our biggest health problems it affects more than 4 million Australians.
• 120 people in Australia die from CVD each day, or one person every 12 minutes.
• Someone is hospitalised for CVD approximately every minute, equating to over 1500 hospitalisations per day. 
• Costs the Australian economy 5 billion each year, more than any other disease.
• Kills around 40% more males than females.

For FREE heart testing ask your GP for a referral to Global Cardiology ❤️
