Our Mission & Goals
At Vital Hearts 💓, our mission is to protect, educate, and empower every heartbeat.
🏛️ Our Core Values
🫀 Healthy Hearts
We promote education and prevention through workshops, community events, and online campaigns that teach the importance of heart checks, CPR, and knowing the signs of cardiac arrest. We support survivors and their families by connecting them to resources and sharing their stories to inspire others.
💃 Creativity & Confidence
Vital Hearts celebrates the power of creativity — using modelling, pageantry, cosplay, photography, and storytelling to shine a light on resilience. Every photo, performance, and campaign we produce reminds people that heart survivors are not defined by their condition, but by their courage and individuality.
🤝 Community First
Encourage local schools, clubs, and organisations to make heart education more accessible. From school awareness talks and defibrillator demonstrations to wellness events and charity collaborations, we believe change starts with empowering communities to take action together.
📣 Advocacy & Awareness
We turn voices into movements. By amplifying survivor experiences and running awareness drives across social media, we transform knowledge into community impact. Our campaigns focus on prevention, early intervention, and support, driving change at both personal and policy levels.
💪 What We’re Doing
🌍 Community Outreach: Help schools, youth programs, and events to deliver heart health talks, share survivor stories, and provide easy-to-understand information about prevention and first aid.
🎗️ Pageant & Public Platforms: Through partnerships with national pageants and community events, we’re raising the profile of heart health in spaces where beauty, confidence, and purpose meet. Leanne’s journey as a cardiac survivor shows that advocacy can be powerful and inspiring — both on and off stage.
💡 Education & Empowerment: We’re working to develop new learning materials and campaigns that teach CPR, AED awareness, and the importance of regular heart check-ups. We aim to collaborate with schools and youth programs to make this part of the Australian curriculum in the future.
🎥 Storytelling & Media: Through media appearances, photography projects, interviews, and digital storytelling, we highlight the realities of living with heart conditions — celebrating resilience while breaking stigma.
❤️ Support & Connection: Vital Hearts aims to become a space where survivors and families can find understanding, share experiences, and access trusted support networks.
