IN HONOUR OF AN INCREDIBLE MAN
Andrew Barry was a son, brother, husband, dad, uncle and friend. He was 35 when he suddenly and very unexpectedly passed away in September 2020 from a heart disease he didn't even know he had - AVC which stands for Arrythmogenic Ventricular Cardiomyopathy.
AVC is a disease of the heart muscle where fatty fibrous tissue replaces normal heart muscle. This then interrupts normal electrical signs in the heart which then causes irregular and potentially life threatening heart rhythms. The heart also becomes weaker over time leading to heart failure which is what happened to Andrew. He was with his wife and children one minute and gone the next.
This business has been created by his wife in honour of him to raise money for the Heart Foundation. Bec is hopeful that this business AVC The Label will be able to help the Heart Foundation to get more funding and research on this silent killer.
A percentage of every sale will be going straight to Heart Foundation Australia to help find cures and research for not just AVC but all heart diseases.
