MY STORY

To those who are not aware of, I was married to Deva Anantharaj for 7 years and I was about to welcome our gorgeous daughter Tiara Anantharaj in four weeks when we were shattered with a shock of our live. On the 19th of June 2011, Deva then 32, went out  for salsa dancing with friends when he collapsed. We lost our beloved Deva to a massive heart attack.

Not only have l lost my loving husband, but our daughter Tiara also only get to see her adored father in photos.  Deva didn't get the opportunity to see his princess although he was counting the days for her arrival. This has affected so many lives.

Twelve years have now passed. While our lives move on, we cannot forget the memories that we shared together. We will cherish those beautiful memories forever.

With immense help and massive support of my soul mate, best friend and wonderful partner Selva Kathiresan, On Deva's 39th Birthday, we decided to organise an annual event of walking in memory of Deva. Our sole purpose is to raise funds to Heart Foundation Australia.

We will be walking 13 kilometers on the Sunday the 18th of June on Deva's 12th anniversary.

We ask my dear family, friends and colleagues to show your support by joining us on our walk, donate and help us raise funds. You are not required to walk the full 13kms if you don’t want to, each round is 3.2kms. You can choose how many rounds you like to walk.

Your donations will help fund lifesaving heart research and stop more families losing loved ones prematurely to heart disease.

Thank you for your support.
