Buy a Brick, Build a Heart

Our dear friend and founding member of both the Gibraltar Cardiac Association and GiBricks, Keith Bautista, sadly passed away on 31st January 2024. Keith was a champion in trying to improve cardiac services in Gibraltar. In his memory, the association, in collaboration with GiBricks, is bringing to life one of his most passionate projects: Buy a Brick, Build a Heart.

Keith always said there was an indirect link between brick building and cardiac health. While brick building may not directly treat cardiac conditions, its role in stress reduction, motor skill rehabilitation, mental health support and social interaction makes it an excellent therapeutic tool for cardiac patients.

This initiative envisions the creation of a heart made entirely out of building bricks. The heart will grow as large as our community's generosity allows. For just one pound per brick, you can help us build this heart and keep his legacy alive, while supporting the association's fundraising efforts. You may purchase as many bricks as you wish.

The heart will be displayed at The Keith Bautista Building Bricks Expo 2025 as a symbol of our collective efforts in memory of Keith and his dedication to improving cardiac health.

We encourage you to spread the word among colleagues, family and friends, and to consider purchasing bricks individually or on behalf of your organisation or loved ones. Every brick brings us closer to completing this heart and making a lasting impact on cardiac health in Gibraltar.
