Don’t Waste a Beat, a film urging Australians to take a Shane Warne Legacy Health Check, was revealed during the Boxing Day Test at the MCG.
The film, a collaboration between Thinkerbell, Finch, and Warne’s friends and family, weaves together rarely seen moments from his life. It’s set to an a cappella cover of Feel by Robbie Williams.
“It’s impossible to condense a life like Shane’s into 60 seconds, but our goal was to show the importance of every moment," said Tom Wenborn, chief tinker at Thinkerbell.
"We’re grateful to Shane’s family and friends for their collaboration on this project. There have been tears, smiles, and laughter—but it’s all been worth it.”
Director Michael Hili of Finch said the images in the film capture Shane’s personality—childhood memories, moments with his kids, and life on and off the field.
"When we see Shane on the cricket pitch, it’s Shane Warne the person, not just the player. These photos reveal a big heart—a man who brought joy and inspiration to countless lives. They showcase his love for family, his humor, and a full life cut tragically short, urging Australians to honour Shane’s legacy by prioritising their own heart health.”
Helen Nolan, CEO of The Shane Warne Legacy, said the sudden and tragic passing of Warne sparked a significant increase in public awareness about heart disease and heart attacks.
"Approximately 45% of people who take the Shane Warne Legacy Health Check are referred to their GP for further assessment, highlighting its life-saving importance and the profound impact of Shane’s story.”
The Shane Warne Legacy Health Check is a simple, 4-minute assessment of blood pressure, BMI, Heart Age.
