Thank you to everyone in the Warrnambool area for your generous support of the Heart Foundation Doorknock Appeal 2012 and especially our wonderful volunteer collectors who so generously gave their time.

As an independent charity that funds life-saving research, supports health professionals and promotes health in the community, we’re deeply appreciative of the help given to us by so many Australians in September.

Every donation to the Heart Foundation Doorknock Appeal will help us continue the fight against heart disease, the number one killer of both men and women in Australia.

The generous response we have received from local communities like Warrnambool have helped us achieve our fund-raising target of $745,000 forVictoria.

These donations will help fund critical research, education and community programs to help save the lives and improve the health of all Australians.

If one of our kind-hearted volunteer collectors missed you in September, you can still show your support by making a credit card donation directly to the Heart Foundation on 1800 55 22 55 or at www.heartfoundation.org.au/doorknock

Thank you for being part of the largest community-led fund-raising program for the Heart Foundation and helping to ensure we continue our important work.

Kellie-Ann Jolly, chief executive officer, Victoria
