Gippsland Rhythm & Wings was established in 2018 after. Lisa founder of GR&W experienced first hand the need for local support after having her own son diagnosed with a severe heart condition.
Several years later Lisa got in contact with Heartkids a national not for profit organisation supporting Children with Heart disease. They were an amazing support based in Melbourne & Lisa started fundraising for them holding an annual Family fun day in Warragul to raise money to help support them.
After 4 years of fundraising Lisa still seen the lack of support in Country areas with support based in the City & unfortunately heartkids were unable to get more localised support so Lisa took the necessary steps to establish Gippsland Rhythm & Wings which is a Not for Profit Charity to help Country families who have or who have lost a child to heart disease. With over 200 children in the Warragul/ Drouin area alone Lisa hopes to be able to start a regular support group & although everyone has different needs Lisa & her amazing team of volunteers hope to offer whatever support they can to help those going through their own Heart journeys.
