Heart Foundation
Each year, more than 300,000 Aussie school kids take part in the Heart Foundation’s Jump Rope for Heart program. Every one of them is special – but nine-year-old Xavier Simpson is more inspiring than most.
Xavier was born with Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS), a rare inherited condition that affects the body’s connective tissues, which are responsible for supporting and structuring the skin, blood vessels, bones and organs.
Some people with EDS also have heart defects, and this is the case with Xavier. His aortic valve does not properly control the flow of oxygen-rich blood to the rest of his body. This means Xavier is prone to fatigue and breathlessness.
Heart Foundation
A new Heart Foundation Walking group has started up in Smithton, giving residents a fun, free way to become more physically active.
The Circular Head Walk and Talk group will meet every Wednesday at 9am at the Smithton boat ramp. Their first walk will be on Wednesday 19 May, for about 60 minutes, and will be followed by morning tea at Rural Health Tasmania in King Street.
Heart Foundation Walking groups are a simple, safe way to be active, and best of all, they are free.
Participants receive free Heart Foundation Walking newsletters and recognition for their walking (including certificates and vouchers) after they have reached significant walking milestones.
