Thank you to all the kind-hearted volunteers and people who donated to the official Heart Foundation Doorknock Appeal in September. With your help we raised over $5,000,000 this year and collections are still coming! This is an amazing result and it will allow us to continue our lifesaving work. We greatly appreciate your support.
Register for Doorknock 2010
Your support can help us save and improve lives to end the heartbreak experienced by too many Aussie families. You can also register now for 2010.
Three good reasons to donate or register:
1. Cardiovascular disease remains the biggest killer of Australians - killing 46,000 people each year.
2. Cardiovascular disease claims an Australian life every 10 minutes.
3. Two out of three Australian families are affected by cardiovascular disease.
One of our dedicated collectors Paul Jones, talks about his doorknocking experience:
This is my third year as a collector for the Heart Foundation. The amounts donated have increased from $179 to $273 in 2009. I have kept fairly accurate records on donors' names and interests so that most of the calls are a little "chattie". My "database" does not change much so I am looking forward to meeting the residents again in September 2010. My two streets are cul-de-sacs so most of the residents have to pass our house hence my thank you sign.
