Jackson Warne thanks the public for supporting the Shane Warne Legacy

Jackson Warne has thanked the public for supporting the Shane Warne Legacy charity, which offers free heart tests.

The 24-year-old shared a throwback photo of himself and his late father together, writing, “Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of Dad's Legacy so far.”

He continued: 'Thank you for buying a hat, sharing a story, following our social account, sending a message, reading about SWL in the newspaper or online, or even getting your heart tested – we are so grateful, thank you! '

Jackson then revealed that they had launched the tests nationwide.

The King of Spiders tragically died of a heart attack at the age of 52 on March 4, 2022, while staying at a luxury villa on the Thai holiday island of Koh Samui.

Warne attempted to improve his health during the fateful trip, with his manager James Erskine insisting he was sober. The room he stayed in was free of alcohol or cigarettes at the time of his death.

As the tragedy rocked the country, his children Brooke, Jackson and Summer hope Warne's sudden death can inspire other Aussies to take action and save their own lives.

Heart disease remains the leading cause of death in Australia, causing 12 percent of all deaths.

“Thank you so much for your overwhelming support of Dad's Legacy thus far,” Jackson wrote

Although Warne reportedly spoke to a doctor about his heart health before leaving for Thailand, he did not undergo a thorough test.

Warne's family believes that if that test had been done, their father and hero would still be with us.

“We believe that if Dad had taken any of these tests, he could still be with us today,” the children wrote in a letter published by News Corp.

“As we reflect on Shane's death in March 2022, we can't help but wonder whether a heart test may have revealed a problem, allowing him to take preventative measures,” Warne's parents Brigitte and Keith added.
