Did you know heart disease is the No. 1 killer of Australian women? Most women don’t. Go Red for Women is the Heart Foundation’s campaign to help raise awareness of women and heart disease.

As well as taking part in the Healthy Heart Challenge to improve your own heart health, you can support Go Red for Women by fundraising for the Heart Foundation.  The money you raise will help fund our vital and lifesaving work.

How to fundraise during the Healthy Heart Challenge

On your own
Set up your exclusive online fundraising page and dedicate it to a loved one who has been touched by heart disease. Ask your family, friends and work colleagues to make a donation.

With your girlfriends or colleagues
Organise your own ‘Go Red’ fundraising event, such as a red dinner party or a Go Red walk. Or attend a Go Red for Women event in your community.

Ask your community 
Once you’ve collected funds, ask your workplace, club or association to match it. Or you could even nominate Go Red for Women as the beneficiary of an existing event through work.
