Rebel Sport is proud to be the inaugural, national Presenting Sponsor for the iconic Jump Rope for Heart program – one of the longest-running physical activity programs in Australian schools, which has been running now for 28 years. The Jump Rope for Heart program provides a fun way to educate children about heart health. Not only do they learn about the need to look after their own hearts by skipping and being active, but they are also looking after the hearts of all Australians by helping the Heart Foundation with vital fundraising support which assists them to continue their lifesaving work.
An Australian dies from heart disease every 23 minutes and whilst significant progress has been made in recent years in improving the heart health of Australians, heart disease continues to impose a heavy burden on Australians in terms of illness, disability and premature death, and the associated direct health care expenditure exceeds that for any other disease. The Heart Foundation funds critical research and community projects to improve awareness, prevention and treatment of heart disease. This year alone the Heart Foundation have invested $13.6 million into research. |
