Keeping your heart healthy is something you can work on every day. But if you need some motivation, registrations are now open for our heart health awareness event Run & Walk for Your Heart.
Held on Sunday, October 2 this annual fundraiser offers the perfect opportunity to kick-start a more active lifestyle on what happens to be the first day of daylight savings.
You can choose to walk or run the five-kilometre circuit, starting and finishing at the iconic UTAS Stadium precinct. We are also offering an 800-metre sprint for young kids.
Sadly, Northern Tasmania continues to have the highest rate of heart disease in Australia. However, research shows that regular physical activity significantly reduces your risk of having a heart attack or developing heart disease.
Through this event, the Foundation aims to create community awareness of the importance of a healthy heart. Importantly, all funds raised will support heart research in Northern Tasmania.
