Welcome to the month, where October becomes "Shocktober"
where World Restart a Heart Day falls, on October 16th.
This month, we're turning the spotlight on life-saving actions and the incredible work we do with the greater community, here
at Heart of the Nation.
Join us in spreading awareness, raising donations,
and becoming a responder in your own right!
Keep scrolling to see our Shocktober events.
Why is October "Shocktober"
October in Australia is not just about spring blossoms and fresh beginnings in nature ; it's about fresh beginnings in life, through adopting a life-saving perspective. Shocktober encourages individuals to understand that everyone can become a responder in the case of a sudden cardiac arrest, and you don't need formal training to take immediate action.
The Worlds Largest CPR Class
Hold your own Pushathon Event
You can start making a difference right now by organizing your very own Pushathon.
Pick a date during the month of October that works best for you, and your community. Gather your friends, family, or coworkers and practice CPR together.
Use this as an opportunity to brush up on your CPR skills or learn them for the first time. The more practice, the better prepared we all are when PUSH comes to SHOCK!
You can make an even bigger impact by getting sponsored for your Pushathon.
Make sure to share your journey on social media using the hashtag
#CPR-pushathon.
By doing so, you'll not only raise awareness about the event but also encourage friends, family, and colleagues to support your cause.
