Take Heart - Close the Gap Day 2025 - Special Edition Film

Описание: On March 20th 2025, on National Close the Gap Day, we encourage you to share a this new film in the Take Heart series.

You are invited to gather around this new film, to help yourself and others to learn more, and do more.

Then we would encourage everyone who sees the film to respond to the call-to-action to pledge to eliminate RHD in Australia by 2031.

Using this film to help all Australians better understand what RHD is, and how we can eliminate it, will contribute to a life-long legacy we can all be proud of.

Please join the movement to eliminate RHD in Australia by hosting a screening of this film and signing the pledge on Close the Gap Day on Thursday March 20th 2025.

Take Heart is a film-led advocacy campaign that has been committed to eliminating RHD (Rheumatic Heart Disease) in Australia for over a decade.

During this time, we have seen huge improvements in general awareness of RHD, alongside the establishment of dozens of community-led programs offering hope for the future.

However, at least 2 young people die from this preventable disease in Australia every week. Most of these young people identify as Aboriginal or Torres Strait Islanders. Tragically, Rheumatic Heart Disease has the greatest negative impact on the life-expectancy gap between Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians.

Join us as we fight to eliminate RHD by 2030.

To start please subscribe to this YouTube Channel, like and share the content generously. Adding comments will help these films be more broadly seen.
