There’s no greater gift than the gift of life. Wayne Broady would tell you that himself.


At 52, Wayne was relatively fit and healthy. After a weekly swimming session with mates, he felt faint and as if he had severe indigestion. Wayne “knew something was wrong but had no idea what”.


He was having a heart attack that would later lead to heart failure.


Heart failure can rob you of the energy to live your life, but it doesn’t have to. Donate to the Heart Foundation and help fund new research that can help people with heart failure live a life worth living. People just like Wayne.
