Few women are aware that heart disease is the number one killer of Australian women – in fact 24 women die from heart disease every day, that’s one woman every hour of every day. Many women mistakenly believe that breast cancer is their major health threat and dismiss heart disease as a condition that only affects men. The Heart Foundation is committed to ensuring that its heart health messages reach women and that women are encouraged and supported to look after their heart health.

By supporting the Heart Foundation and Gear up Girl you’ll be helping to improve the heart health of women in Australia and prevent the unnecessary deaths and suffering caused by heart disease. The Heart Foundation will do this through its awareness-raising, education and research programs.
