EVENT DATE:	2/11/2008

A few years ago I faced up to the fact that I was massively overweight and in bad shape. My cholesterol numbers were scary and I was eating myself into an early grave.

I started going to the gym and eating healthy. I made reasonably good progress with this but soon things began to plateau. That was until late last year when one of my friends mentioned in passing that he had been running. I decided that if he could do it then so could I.

I did some research and stumbled across a free online fitness programme called C25K - or 'Couch to 5 Km'. The plan tells you exactly how much to run and how much to walk, gradually building up the amount of time spent running.
After six months of training - taking it one day at a time � I�ve managed to cut my cholesterol in half and am now in the healthy range.

I am now preparing to run my first half marathon in November.

I�ve decided to try and help others by supporting the great work of the Heart Foundation by signing up as a Heart Racer.

By donating through my webpage you will be helping the Heart Foundation continue its vital work in research, cardiac rehabilitation, education programmes and resources.

I'll do all the hard work (train for and complete the Auckland Half Marathon), but I really need you to make a difference to the hearts of New Zealanders.

Select the "Make a donation" button below. It�s simple, fast and totally secure and the money goes directly to the Heart Foundation�s bank account. If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

So please help me help the Heart Foundation today! And pass it on to your family and friends!

Many thanks for your support. I couldn�t do it without you.
