help me run for heart disease <3

i’ve never spoken about this online but in 2016, i lost my best friend - my father to coronary artery disease - a form of heart disease that remains the leading cause of death in australia. it was the most unexpected loss. my dad was a psychiatrist, and to me, the strongest, smartest, healthiest and most inspiring person i knew. he lived a life full of discipline and vitality - he exercised regularly, ate well, and avoided all the major risk factors. he did everything right. yet, even with the healthiest habits, this silent disease took him 👎🏽

1 in 6 people in australia live with cardiovascular disease. this month, i am running in his honour as part of the heart foundation’s run for heart program - to raise money for life-saving heart research, prevention and support for those affected. i hope to help prevent other families from going through the heartbreak mine did. if you are in the position to donate, any amount would be insanely appreciated :)))
