A skip towards an Australia free of heart disease
We all know or love someone who has been impacted by heart disease.
Challenge yourself to 79 skips a day – or more – this November. Do it to support heart health. Do it in honour of the 79 Australians whose life is cut short by heart disease each day. Raise funds to support healthier hearts for every generation. It's the fundraising challenge you loved as a kid, all grown up.
Skip into action and help us save Australian hearts
Where does
the money go?
By challenging yourself to Skip for Heart this November, you are not only looking after your own heart.
The biggest prize is the impact you are having by raising money to help the Heart Foundation fund life-saving heart disease research.
Here are a few ways your participation will be helping Australian hearts:
$50
can help cover the cost for a researcher to obtain a DNA sample for genetic testing to identify people at high risk.
$200
could cover the cost of a wearable physical activity tracker, an important tool to help researchers unlock the link between sedentary behaviors and heart health.
$750
could get an entire school skipping by providing a registration kit to join Jump Rope for Heart, improving heart healthy habits and long-term health outcomes.
