At Matchpoint, this cause is one that "hits" close to home. Members of our own team and wider Matchpoint family have been affected by heart conditions, and we know just how suddenly heart health can impact the people we care about.
To Ash, this cause means a lot to his family. His father passed away from a heart attack in 2001, and more recently, his uncle suffered a heart attack and is now thankfully recovering.
So, while this event is about bringing our tennis community together for a fun and positive day on court, it also carries a much deeper purpose.
This is where our Hit for Heart event has begun to take shape!
As we plan out this event, we will share updates on what we have in store! We would also love for our North Brisbane Community to contribute with ideas, donations or simple message of hope/inspiration to those who are experiencing this ever-increasing disease.
We’re fundraising to support the Heart Foundation’s important work in research, prevention, education and support, helping more families avoid the heartbreak that so many have experienced.
Heart disease remains Australia’s biggest killer, claiming 48 lives every day.
Your donation will help the Heart Foundation to transform Australia’s heart health by:
-
funding life-changing heart research
-
supporting health professionals working to prevent, diagnose and treat heart disease
-
providing heart-healthy programs and resources for everyday Australians.
Please make a donation today, click the donate button. Every donation, big or small will help us get closer to our goal. All donations over $2 are tax deductible and you’ll get a receipt by email as soon as you make your donation.
On behalf of the Matchpoint Team, Thank you for supporting our Hit for Heart event.
