Epping: David Farmer takes a leap for HeartKids on Super Boss Day

David Farmer understands like few others the importance of consuming foods rich in vitamin K.

The Broadmeadows shopping centre general manager was born with congenital heart disease. He underwent major heart surgery at the age of five and now takes medication to thin his blood, not to mention stocking up on broccoli and other foods high in vitamin K to help prevent blood clots.

“But it’s never slowed me down,” the now-28-year-old Epping resident said.

On Super Boss Day next Thursday he’ll be dressing up in a super-hero costume to raise money for children with heart disease and their families.

The funds will go toward HeartKids, a charity that supports children with the disease as well as raising awareness and funding vital research.
