They're seeking to find better treatments and, where possible, prevent childhood illness and disability so that all concerned can have a better quality of life.
It's a noble cause, and one your generosity can greatly benefit. Your donation will support work that will help children for generations to come.

Bequests which are gifts left in Wills are the largest source of the Heart Foundation's financial support, representing approximately 50% of our entire donations.
Because every dollar does count
The Heart Foundation encourages everyone to seek appropriate professional advice when making a will. The Heart Foundation has also prepared a free booklet entitled "Guide to Bequests and Wills" a simple straight forward guide on how to make a Will and perhaps include a gift to the Heart Foundation. Your donation or bequest in your Will is our main source of charitable revenue. Help us fight Australia's No. 1 killer today - because every dollar counts!

Funeral Finery
Without the Funeral Finery Shroud, what are you left with?
A Shroud from Funeral Finery is for keeps, something very special to bring home from the day of our loss: the garment that adorned the casket of our beloved on that final journey.
Made from rich & beautiful fabrics, dressed with tassel & fringe, a Shroud can reflect the essence of the loved one's personality. It can depict special interests, or sports, or gardens, or clans, or pets.
At home, it becomes a wrap, or a throw over the sofa, easy chair, or bed. A wall hanging perhaps. A treasured keepsake or family heirloom.
Our web pages can open your eyes to the full range of Funeral Finery Shrouds, and to some stunning possibilities for those seeking a more unique and individual design.
Funeral Finery Enriches the Memories.

Aid to the Church in Need
The Rosary – Joy, Light, Sorrow, Glory
Aid to the Church in Need launches new Rosary booklet
Featuring the 5 new Mysteries of Light
“Duc in altum!” – “Put out into the deep”. Pope John Paul II has chosen these words of Jesus as the watchword of the Church as she advances with a firm and confident step into the third millennium. Now he has shed new light on the Holy Rosary for us too, and has entrusted it to us as a priceless means of help as we venture forth into the “vast ocean” of the new millennium. By adding the five Luminous Mysteries the Holy Father has enriched our prayer life. The Rosary booklet contains all 20 mysteries as well as excerpts from the Holy Father's apostolic letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae, scripture readings, meditations and prayers.
This booklet is intended not only for those who have already enjoyed a Christian upbringing, but also for all those who were deprived of this and are therefore unfamiliar with the great treasure that is the Rosary. This beautifully illustrated little booklet is now available for a donation of $3.00 (includes postage). Also available are the Papal Rosary beads. To obtain the Rosary booklet and the Vatican Rosary beads we ask for a donation of $15.00 (includes postage). All proceeds will go towards the work of Aid to the Church in Need for the persecuted and threatened Church worldwide.
Beautifully
illustrated
throughout.
Just $3 a copy
or $15 for the
Rosary booklet
and Papal
Rosary.

Aid To The Church In Need: A Catholic charity dependent on the Holy See, providing pastoral relief to needy and oppressed Churches
So, You Want To Be A Funeral Celebrant?
Possibly a little more information is needed before you take that big step and “give up your day job”, and this short course will provide you with the basics to get you started. As you are well aware, the rites of passage are very unique; unique to the person about whom they are spoken; unique to the person giving them. Not everyone wants the same type of funeral. A Personal Funeral Ceremony can therefore provide an opportunity to create, with the help and support of a professional Funeral Celebrant, the most appropriate and meaningful funeral ceremony for this final act of love and respect. The most valuable element of the Personal Funeral Ceremony is a carefully scripted tribute written about the character and life of the deceased by the Funeral Celebrant with the assistance of the family and/or friends. This tribute is a celebration of the person's life, recounting their experiences, attributes and qualities. Every effort is made to capture the very essence of the deceased and their lasting spirit. The tribute, delivered by the Funeral Celebrant, forms a part of the entire ceremony. As each deceased is unique, so is each ceremony unique. Highlights of the learning outcomes of this course are: So, what exactly is a Personal Funeral Ceremony? What does it take to be a Funeral Celebrant? Understanding the family's rights concerning the funeral. The characteristics of a professional Funeral Celebrant. The building blocks of a Personal Funeral Funeral Celebrants & Funeral Service Personnel.

People in retirement homes appreciate new filing system that doesn't need a computer
Most of us don't like to think about unpleasant things happening to us … but what if you were temporarily unable to look after yourself, or even talk?
How would you make sure you received the treatment you'd wish for yourself?
One way is to summarise your personal details and requests in an easily-accessible format, then tell several people you trust where this information is kept.
LifeFile lists your details and document locations Jeff Camp created the LifeFile concept after he was suddenly forced to make decisions for his terminally ill father. But first, he had to dig up all his father's personal information. If he'd had this resource, then, he'd have saved a huge amount of time and stress.
Control your affairs with a pencil! What Jeff designed was a simple folder printed on three sides with info-prompts. Now you or your family can easily pencil everything: tax-file numbers, health histories, bank locations, solicitor, memorial requests even your mother's maiden name.
For peace of mind—order now! LifeFile is only $14.95 (incl GST) plus postage and handling. To order, simply us on 07 3901 3399.
