Run for Heart - June Challenge
This June DKHAC are taking on the Heart Foundation's Run for Heart challenge!
Our team: DKHAC Warm Hearts is challenging our members and community to complete a marathon distance (42.2 km) across the month of June to raise vital funds for cardiovascular disease.
Whether you run, walk, swim, or cycle, aiming for 1.4km a day or 10.55km a week will have you smashing that marathon goal by June 30!
With cardiovascular disease affecting 1 in 6 Australians, this is great opportunity for us to connect and move together for a fantastic cause.
Every little bit counts, you can support the Heart Foundation by donating to our team's fundraising goal.
Keep an eye on our social media platforms for more updates on the challenge as we get closer to June!
Let’s move with purpose, together.

Do I have to fundraise?
