Why donate?
New Zealand has a remarkable but largely untold cardiac story, and we need your help to bring the Brave Hearts exhibition to life.
Brave Hearts is a story of innovation and creativity and we are seeking donations to help meet the $500,000 budget.
The history of important local events and their protagonists is valuable, and we want everyone to know about the outstanding achievements of some remarkable New Zealanders. This exhibition will focus our attention on historic breakthroughs which should be a source of justifiable pride for us all, but are currently not well documented or known to most people. We all know the names of sporting heroes but how many know the story of Sir Douglas Robb or Sir Brian Barratt-Boyes?
Brave Hearts is a story of innovation and creativity and we need your help to bring it to life.
Brave Hearts has a strong educational focus. There is a pressing need for communities to understand more about preventable diseases like rheumatic heart disease, and how to safeguard against the damage they can do.
The good news is that cardiovascular diseases such as heart attacks and strokes have declined in the last 25 years due to big reductions in tobacco smoking and the consumption of saturated fat, together with medical advances and new drugs. Education of children and young people will help ensure that this decline continues. The strongly visual and mobile nature of the exhibition maximizes this educational opportunity.
There has also been dramatic and continuing progress in the treatment of infants and children born with heart defects, many of whom have now reached adult life.
Many thousands of people have directly or through involvement with a loved one, experienced cardiac treatment and will wish to interact with this exhibition. Communities will be able to interact with their own history and contribute their own stories and we need your help to enable this.
