Hi everyone,

My wife and I have spent the winter stuffing our faces with delicious creations along with copious amounts of wine. (Those of you who know us know this is no exaggeration!)With bellies bursting over our jeans and sluggish energy levels we were rocked by the news of a family friend passing away due to heart complications. We also learned of another good friend who had recently had a heart operation.

Around the same time Masterchef 2 Nadia Lim suggested I should enter the Auckland marathon.

We both knew it was time for a lifestyle change, if we kept going the way we were (and with heart conditions in family medical histories) the prognosis would not be good. So we thought we would get off the couch and give it a go… and so team Masterchef was born!

This will be no easy feat for us,Trace has never run more than 10km in her life and I am normally following her in the car!

So please help us as we join the race to beat heart disease.

We will do all the hard work (train for and complete the event),I will try to hide the wine from Trace and she will drag me out of the kitchen to train! But we really need you to make a difference to the hearts of New Zealanders.

So, please could you sponsor us?

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 today! And pass it on to your family and friends!

Many thanks for your support
