How your donations help:
A $25 donation can pay for one of the most basic lab tools necessary for understanding how heart cells work (a key element to preventing and treating heart disease) - a petri dish.
A $40 donation can help a researcher isolate blood cells which can be used to study blood clots. Understanding blood clots and how they can be removed or prevented is key to treating heart attack and stroke.
A $100 donation can pay for a DNA test to help determine the genetic factors that are important in heart disease. This knowledge can help identify people at high risk of heart disease, and lead to new, innovative treatments.
A $500 donation can pay for an MRI scan which allows researchers to examine damage and abnormalities in the structure and function of the heart.
The Heart Foundation is Australia’s leading heart health charity, dedicated to minimising the number of people living with, or dying from heart, stroke and blood vessel disease – one of Australia’s most devastating health problems.
The funds you raise will help the Heart Foundation fund critical research, education and community programs to help save lives and improve the heart health of all Australians. The Heart Foundation receives little government support so relies on the generosity of everyday Australians to continue its lifesaving work.
