Chris's Story
Chris is a survivor and great supporter of Heartbeat of Football after losing his mate - Jason Connolly - and is often quoted with this simple yet effective message: “It will not cost you anything to get a heart health check but it may cost you everything if you don’t get one”
“It will not cost you anything to get a heart health check but it may cost you everything if you don’t get one”.
