Host an event
Whether it’s a gala dinner with 200 guests, a trivia night with friends, or an office morning tea, the type of event you host is up to you.
Take on a challenge
Ride 100kms in a week, hike Mount Kosciuszko, or walk a marathon over a month – your next physical challenge is a great opportunity to raise funds for Australian hearts.
Celebrate
Mark your special day by requesting donations instead of gifts.
Quit
Give up something to look after your heart, ask people to make a donation to support you, and help save someone else's heart at the same time.
Do it your way
Be unique, create your own idea and show your true passion for the fight against heart disease.

Lucas conquered a marathon
When Lucas’s dad was diagnosed with severe heart failure, he decided to take on a challenge, and raise funds to help the fight to save Aussie hearts. As a result, Lucas conquered the Astana Marathon in Kazakhstan.
“I have never been a runner, I saw this as the perfect opportunity to challenge myself and raise funds for the Heart Foundation. It was physically and mentally the toughest thing I have ever done, but knowing there was a bigger purpose to why I was doing it made it easy.”
- Lucas Chesterton, Challenge fundraiser 
Megan quit alcohol
At the age of nine, Megan lost her father to a heart attack. That is why Megan chose to support the Heart Foundation and gave up alcohol for one month.
Megan’s top tip: “Make sure you share your fundraising page on social media and tell all of your family, friends and work colleagues what you are doing and why.”
-Megan Cromer, Quit fundraiser
