REDFEB 2015

Did you know that heart disease kills one Australian every 26 minutes? Heart disease is the leading cause of death for both men and women in Australia. Knowing your risk factors and following a heart healthy lifestyle, you can reduce your chances of being affected!

February is Heart Research Month - where all Australians are encouraged to make their heart health a priority and proactively participate in the fight against heart disease. To celebrate, Heart Research Australia's REDFEB campaign promotes simple ways to follow a healthy lifestyle, and raises much needed funds for first-stage, innovative research into the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of heart disease.

Be smart. Love your heart.

'We are calling on all Australians to fall in love with their hearts this Heart Research Month. Whether you choose to walk extra kilometres, hold a morning tea or challenge yourself by making a heart healthy change to your lifestyle, you can help us raise much needed funds for heart research by supporting REDFEB', says Floyd Larsen, CEO Heart Research Australia.

REDFEB 2015 Ambassador, well-known and much loved radio and TV personality, Sami Lukis, is a leading example of someone who follows a healthy balanced lifestyle.

Says Sami 'I am very proud to be the REDFEB Ambassador. Together with Heart Research Australia, I encourage everyone to support REDFEB by choosing one of the many ways to help us raise much needed funds for researchers to find new ways of preventing heart disease."
