Supporting Heart Disease Research - #1 Killer in Australia

July 19, 2011 - PRLog -- Supporting Communities

According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the leading underlying cause of death for all Australians was Ischaemic heart disease, which includes angina, blocked arteries of the heart and heart attacks. Ischaemic heart diseases were identified as the underlying cause of 22,523 deaths, accounting for 16.0% of all deaths registered in 2009.

The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute (VCCRI) is a biomedical research institute that is committed to excellence in research into heart disease and cardiovascular biology, cardiovascular research training, and facilitating the rapid application of research discoveries to patient care.

Each year the VCCRI stages a number of fundraising events to raise the additional funds needed to continue its ground-breaking research into heart disease.  The upcoming event for this year is listed below, if you would like to attend the event, or if you require further information please contact the Fund Development Office on 1300 842 867.

Cerise & Co. loves getting behind fundraising events to support local communities.  We proudly support Victor Chang Research Institute's Heart to Heart Red Ball 2011 through our donation of a 18K gold white round pearl necklace of highly graded 11-12mm pearls worth over $1,500. A natural white pearl necklace with substantial 11-12mm freshwater cultured pearls puts forward a bold style statement. The pink overtones add a lovely characteristic to this pearl necklace strand. Finished with 18K white gold ball clasp, this pearl strand shimmers with shine and class.
