This Friday we’re headed to Caringbah for the PWI Railway Soccer Cup 2025, proudly supporting mental health in the rail industry. A Heart Check can contribute to better mental health by promoting awareness and reducing stress, with Degnan supporting to kick this off.

We look forward to engaging with the Railway Cup teams to share FREE heart health awareness and offer preventative heart health checks.

Today (29-Sep) is World Heart Day and this years theme is "Don't Miss A Beat".

Sharing this on behalf our valued community ambassador (Chris Minol)
"In 2017, I lost my good mate Jason to sudden cardiac arrest. He died abruptly after playing a midweek cup game for St Mary’s Band Club. In his memory, and to honour his life lost far too soon, we started the Jason Connolly Memorial Cup to raise funds to support heart health testing in the football community and awareness about getting your heart checked.
It was at one of these events that I found out I was at risk - the irony is that I’m a high school PE teacher who teaches students about cardiac health. I was tested and discovered I had dangerously high cholesterol. I was prescribed medication and told to introduce some lifestyle changes. However, busy with life, I stopped taking my medication. A year later, at just 44, I needed a triple bypass to treat a “widow-maker” blockage.
I am one of the lucky ones who lived to tell the tale. Others, like my friend Jason, didn’t. That’s why, this World Heart Day, I would encourage everyone to get their blood pressure checked. A short and simple test could be a defining moment of your life. It may not cost you anything to go and get one, but it could cost you your life if you don’t.

Excited to announce two lifesaving initiatives suppiorted by Office of Sport

✅ Local Sport Defibrillator Grant - a further $500,000 is available
Eligible sport and active recreation organisations across NSW can apply for grants of up to $3,000 to purchase and install an Automated External Defibrillator (AED) at their facilities.
This program aims to improve safety at community sport by increasing access to life-saving equipment.
⏱️ We strongly encourage sporting clubs across NSW to get in quick as funding will be exhausted quickly - head to https://www.sport.nsw.gov.au/grants/local-sport-defibrillator-grant-program

✅ AED Mapping Project & Extension of hashtag to regional NSW - we have beeen entrusted to conduct the first ever research into which NSW sports facilities have Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) installed.
The findings will also provide vital insight into which facilities do not have the equipment and guide future government investment.
💌 Data collected will be provided to the official AED Registry which is the official NSW AED registry and connected to 000 and the GoodSAM app (NOTE: we are NOT creating a separate app/database)
💌This is critically important as knowing where the closest available AED is and getting a responder to the person quickly - improves the chances of survival.
💌Every minute that passes without CPR and defibrillation sees the chances of survival drop by 8-10%.
💌It is crucial that all AEDs are registered with NSW AED Registry (https://www.ambulance.nsw.gov.au/get-involved/goodsam/register-an-aed)
We were joined at the media event by
- Allen Lyell (70-yo survivor) and George Loupis (50-yo survivor)
- Nicky - Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute - nurse
- Julia - Response For Life - a long term CPR & AED partner
