Support the Heart Foundation's Annual Appeal

Help stop the heartbreak and support the Heart Foundation on its Annual Appeal collection day on Friday 11 February.

Volunteers will be out in force around the country on Friday, so please give generously to support the work of New Zealand's heart health charity to stop New Zealanders dying prematurely of heart disease.

Donations to the Annual Appeal can also be made at any Westpac branch, online at heartfoundation.org.nz or by calling 0800 830 100.

This year's Annual Appeal campaign focuses on the impact premature and preventable heart disease has on New Zealand families and communities.

"To help keep our families and communities together longer, it's more vital than ever that New Zealanders get behind our Annual Appeal," says the Heart Foundation's Medical Director, Norman Sharpe.

"Heart disease is tearing our families apart; a donation to the Heart Foundation will help save the lives of everyday New Zealanders."

As a not-for-profit, non-government organisation, the Heart Foundation is reliant on the generous support of everyday New Zealanders. Donations from this year's Appeal will be used to support regional activities such as health promotion and work in schools.
