Wear RED and help fight heart disease
This February, join REDFEB and help fund life-saving heart research. Every step, every stroke, every move you make brings us closer to beating the world’s biggest killer.

About the charity
About Heart Research Australia
Heart Research Australia is dedicated to funding pioneering and innovative research into the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease. By supporting REDFEB, you’re joining a movement that helps give every Australian the gift of a healthier heart.
More than fundraising
We’re starting a national health conversation
In addition to raising vital funds for research, REDFEB is about raising awareness of the everyday factors that impact heart health. This year, our focus is on stress, the silent epidemic that often goes unnoticed until it’s too late.
