Help give more Queenslanders healthier, longer lives.


Did you know that 1 in 3 Aussies know someone who has had a heart attack?

That is a staggering number of people. It could be your neighbour; a work mate; your old friend from school days; a loved one. Or maybe it’s you.

Here at The Prince Charles Hospital Foundation - which supports one of the country’s leading heart hospitals - the researchers we support want to reduce that number and ensure more Queenslanders live healthier, longer lives through research into heart disease.

But we need your help to make this happen. Your kind gift towards heart research could help save lives. Every dollar you donate brings us closer to our goal.

Meet Ken

Ken’s bike ride on the morning of 5 June began like any other. But later that day, the 73-year-old’s life hung in the balance after he experienced a massive heart attack.

His loved ones didn’t know whether he would be here for Christmas. But if you’d asked Ken what his risk of heart attack was on the morning of 5 June, he would have said “zero.”

Ken had been fit, active and healthy his entire life. He was a non-smoker who rarely had a drink and had regular check-ups and blood tests with his GP.

In fact, Ken was a ticking time bomb, because he didn’t know about the build-up of plaque in his arteries that was slowly, invisibly, blocking blood flow to his heart.

Thankfully, Ken is now on the road to recovery after treatment at The Prince Charles Hospital. He owes his life to research – and the doctors and medical teams who cared for him, and who were informed by research.
