SUPPORT HEARTKIDS AUSTRALIA
SUPPORT HEARTKIDS AUSTRALIA
Every day in Australia, six babies are born with heart disease or illness. This amazing statistic is the bottom line for a health circumstance that needs support - a lot of support. Too many such babies die! Child heart disease is the greatest killer of children in Australia, taking more lives than all other diseases combined. It is the most common birth abnormality, affecting one in every hundred children; which equates to over six a day and around 2000 per annum...and representing around half the beds in intensive care.

Congenital heart disease occurs by a cruel hand of fate - it has nothing to do with diet or lifestyle. In about 80% of cases the cause is largely unknown...so there is much to do. The Institute is supporting Heartkids Australia in 2008...and invites you, your company and your contacts to do the same. Visit their website www.heartkids.org.au. CHECK WEBSITE FOR MORE DETAILS. And, please, donate!

QUOTABLE QUOTES & OPINIONS!

"Talent is the only strategic agenda any of us should be fired up about. Finding it, keeping it, developing it. It's all that matters."
-Jon Bradshaw, Marketing Director, Virgin Mobile on what fires him up
*
"Think twice...it's just another day for you and me - in Paradise"
-Phil Collins song 'Another Day in Paradise'. Millions upon millions of people wake up every day desperately hungry, have no food, no shelter, no job, no car. How did you wake up this morning?
*
"Never write when you can talk. Never talk when you can nod. And never put anything in an email"
-Eliot Spitzer, New York state Attorney General 2008

- Douglas Adams

-UK Advertising Agency Hotshop, Mother
*
"Advertising will be allowed on headrests, travel sickness bags, water cups, within on-board toilets, brochure inserts in back of coach seats and on the LCD TV's - but we won't be letting the bus be overrun with advertisements.

QUOTABLE - AN 'OLD' QUOTE, BUT STILL TRUE
A CUSTOMER
"A customer is the most important visitor on our premises. He is not dependent on us. We are dependent on him. He is not an interuption in our work. He is the purpose of it. He is not an outsider in our business. He is a part of it. We are not doing him a favour by serving him. He is doing us a favour by giving us an opportunity to do so."
- Mahatma Ghandi
