Dad’s Story

On Australia Day 2021, my dad lost his incredibly short battle to heart disease. 

Having his first attack in June, we never understood the severity of Heart Disease. 

We were constantly told things would be fine and keep monitoring his symptoms. 


After having small attacks daily that would last 5-10 minutes, he was told that they were normal and nothing to worry about. 


Later on in the year, he had a larger attack which resulted him in hospital again. This is where they told us they had found multiple blockages in main artery’s and needed Open Heart Surgery. 


If anyone knew my dad and new how fit and healthy he was, you would know this would have come as a massive shock to everyone around him, and even more himself. Being confused and scared, he waited till he heard the news he wanted to hear from one of the surgeons, that they knew this from the first attack and he is fine. 


About 6 weeks later, he went back to the Surgeon for a check up and was all cleared and given the green light. Then a week later he passed.


Dad passed from Atherosclerosis Cardiovascular Disease which long story short means there was severe narrowing of all three of the coronary arteries which supply the heart muscle with blood and oxygen. Due to his young age, the diagnosed it as premature cardiac disease. 


Often people pair heart disease with unhealthy homes. This just shows that Heart Disease can affect anyone no matter how fit and healthy you are! 

❤️

The team at McGrath West have taken on a monthly challenge of completing 10,000 steps a day over the next 4 weeks! I have taken this opportunity to raise money for the Heart Foundation!


Losing my dad at the start of the year has has been a massive roller coaster of emotions. I was un-prepared, uneducated and so unaware of heart diseases that can affect literally anyone at any age. 


Losing someone is something that you can never prepare for and brings on a lot of new emotions you never knew you had! I hope this fundraiser brings awareness to those who are in a similar position or know someone who is struggling and hope it helps in anyway! 


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.
