Former Australian cricket coach Justin Langer has teamed up with the Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute to raise awareness about heart disease.

19 Australians die every day due to a heart attack. 

Langer told Ben Fordham his friend Ben, a father of five, died of a heart attack in 2017.

“The destruction it leaves behind is really sad.

“It’s just so sudden, you don’t get to say goodbye.”
