The James Wadland Night of Hearts 2014

This event is dedicated to honouring the memory of the late James William Howard Wadland who passed away suddenly on 13th August, 2013 of an Aortic Aneurysm. James was a larger than life ‘Gentle Giant’ loved by all. A phenomenal man who achieved great success with anything he put his mind to.

The James Wadland Night of Hearts held on 2nd April, 2014 aims to raise awareness of heart related diseases and to honour his legacy. All proceeds of this event will go towards supporting The Baird Institute, the only group in Australia dedicated to improving clinical and surgical techniques for heart and lung conditions.
