February is RED FEB – a month dedicated to raising awareness about heart disease, encouraging preventative measures, and educating the public on the signs of heart-related emergencies. Rod’s hope is that by sharing his experience, more people will recognize the importance of staying informed, and ultimately seek medical attention when needed.
As part of this campaign, Rod is urging everyone to pay attention to their health and take quick action when in doubt. In case of an emergency, always dial 000 for immediate assistance.
