MonashHeart is the largest cardiology service provider in Victoria providing over 62,400 episodes of care each year to patients of all ages, from in utero & newborns right through to our senior citizens. http://www.monashheart.org.au/
After the success of the 2011 Murray to Moyne ride which raised over $35,000, our cyclists are keen to hit the road again and participate in the 2013 Port to Port ride; 400 km from Mildura via Swan Hill to Echuca, all in just 2 days.
The proceeds of our 2011 ride enabled two important equipment purchases; a new treadmill system& a Lucas 2 chest compression device. The Lucas device has been a wonderful addition to the care we provide our sickest patients in cardiac arrest; contributing to Vanessa’s very successful outcome earlier this year.

Your donation will help us raise $12,000 for three heart Holter monitors- special, highly sensitive cardiac monitors which we do not have, to better detect for episodes of heart arrhythmia and the origin of these. These monitors will be used for patients as young as 12-years of age attending our new cardiac inherited diseases clinic; a clinic specifically for individuals at risk of sudden cardiac death.
