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.
Join the Group of Hearts
We are inviting a select group of supporters to be part of this heartfelt journey and bring the ‘Ben Beale Laboratory in Cardiovascular Research’ to life. The scheduled opening date of the Ben Beale Lab is late 2022, representing five years since Ben’s passing.
