Red Feb 2021 is a day designed to raise awareness and money for heart disease, life-saving research and help keep families together for longer.

On Valentine’s Day, the day of hearts, wear RED for someone close to your heart. Whether it’s a family member, wife, husband, or that special friend who means the world to you, or in memory of someone you loved who sadly passed away due to heart disease.

• Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death in Australia
• Heart disease represents one in five of all deaths in Australia
• Cardiovascular disease accounts for one in four of all deaths in Australia
• Key risk factors that contribute to heart conditions are largely preventable, including high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Additionally, most people don’t associate these key risk factors with their heart health
• Two in three Australian adults are overweight or obese, which is among the leading risk factors for heart disease.

Get involved this February by:

• Wearing red clothing and showing your support
• Making a donation
• Volunteering
• Organising a fundraiser
