About Our Charity
The Capital Limited Breaths & Beats Ride for Research, a remarkable event organised by the Heart and Lung Research Institute.
As the only medical research institute in WA dedicated to heart and lung transplant research, we have expanded our focus to encompass various areas of advanced cardiac and respiratory conditions. Through collaboration with Fiona Stanley Hospital and participation in multi-centre trials worldwide, we conduct groundbreaking clinical research and foster mentorship and collaboration.
Nothing gets your heart and lungs pumping like a bike ride which is why we’ve chosen a cycling challenge to raise funds for the Heart and Lung Research Institute of WA (HLRI WA). Now in its third year the Capital Limited Breaths and Beats Ride for Research is a great way to help change the lives of West Australians with advanced heart and lung disease by funding dedicated research. Grab a bike and join our heart and lung transplant recipients – on Sunday 9th November 2025 as they cycle a choice between a scenic 34km or challenging 60km route that starts and finishes at the picturesque South Perth foreshore.
