Team Healthways is moving for a healthier Australia<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This August 2026, Healthways is taking on a challenge for the Heart Foundation, and we want our whole community with us.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The challenge is simple: commit to the Heart Foundation’s recommendation of 3.5 hours of movement every week throughout August.  (That’s just 30mins a day.)  Walking, running, gym sessions, riding, taking a group fitness class \u2014 anything that gets you moving counts.  This is your commitment, your journey, and your challenge to own.  We are moving alongside you.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together we are raising funds for life-saving heart disease research and prevention, and every dollar our community raises goes directly to the Heart Foundation.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why it matters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Heart disease is one of the leading causes of death in Australia, affecting hundreds of thousands of Australians and their families every year.  We believe movement is medicine, and this August we are putting that belief into action.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Heart Foundation has been funding life-saving research and prevention programs for decades, and every dollar raised through Team Healthways goes directly towards continuing that work.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How it works<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Register and join Team Healthways on the Heart Foundation’s Do it for Heart platform.  Set up your personal fundraising page, share it with friends and family, and ask them to support your August. Then move. However you like, whenever you like, for at least 3.5 hours each week.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is open to everyone.  You just need to be willing to move.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to join<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visit the link below to register and join Team Healthways for Heart. It’s free to register.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please note:<\/strong> Once registered, the platform will ask you to log your activity in kilometres. As our challenge is based on time rather than distance, if your activity doesn’t convert easily to kilometres, simply enter the number that matches your minutes \u2014 for example, one hour of activity, enter 1km. Alternatively you can use this activity converter for a rough estimate:<\/span> https:\/\/activity.midnite.uk\/<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Questions?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chat to our team at reception. We’d love to see you on the leaderboard.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
