Cricket fans attending the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) have a unique opportunity to honour Shane Warne’s legacy while prioritising their health. The Victorian Government has allocated $400,000 to the Shane Warne Legacy Health Check initiative, offering free, non-invasive cardiac-related health checks to thousands of spectators.

The project, in its second year, has expanded significantly, with 52 health stations set up across the MCG—one for each year of Warne’s life. The checks, provided by SiSU Health, measure key health metrics, including blood pressure, BMI, resting heart rate, and an estimate of heart age, helping participants understand their risk factors for heart disease and diabetes.
