Group of Hearts for The Ben Beale Laboratory in Cardiovascular Research

On April 24th, 2017 father-of-five Ben Beale tragically passed away from a heart attack caused by the heart disease, atherosclerosis. Despite incredible advances, there is no cure for atherosclerosis. The Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute, Ben’s family and our scientists across the country are determined to change that.

This would be a lasting and fitting legacy to an adored husband, father, and our great mate, who is sorely missed every single day. Our goal is to save thousands of other families from heartache in the future.
