UPDATE 4/10/2010

THANK YOU EVERYONE to date for your sponsorship. It’s just under a month to go now and unfortunately due to a torn cartilage with the awesome property of allowing fluid to move from within my knee to places it’s not meant to I’ve been banned from running so as a result I’ve decided to walk the half marathon instead and I’m aiming to do this in 3 hours or under. I’m soooo close to the $500 mark now so this is my final attempt to hassle for sponsorship. PLEASE SUPPORT THE HEART FOUNDATION AND CAPTAIN PLANET!! :)

Hello Everyone

As some of you may already know I am running the Auckland Half Marathon on the 31st October with the awesome Chartis NZ team. To add further to this fun I’ve decided to become a “heart racer” and put in my best efforts to support the Heart Foundation in their race against heart disease.

Now I’ve never really done well at collecting donations so I got to thinking – how can I do better at this? Suddenly I was hit in the face by a GENIUS idea, so here it is:

If I can raise at least $500 for the Heart Foundation I promise to run the race as CAPTAIN PLANET … Yes that’s right “By your powers combined, I will potentially run 21km in the public domain of Auckland in spandex with green hair”. See photos for potential awesomeness.

And that is just one of the reasons why you should support me and the Heart Foundation, here are some more:

TO THOSE OF YOU AT CHARTIS:
I am the sole, lone, deserted, single, unaccompanied ONLY representative from the A&H team to enter this event. Despite my best efforts I have failed to get any of you to attempt this with me HOWEVER I am willing to put this disappointment aside because it’s not too late for you to feel like you are doing a world of good. GET BEHIND ME and support your A&H Half Marathon Champion and the Heart Foundation’s great cause and don’t forget Jonathan’s wise words where he rightly pointed out potentially we are all investing in our own futures.

TO MY MELBOURNE COLLEAGUES:
It may seem like a bit of a long shot to ask for your support especially when some of you have never even met me however one day you just might and I PROMISE that I will be extremely generous with the pineapple lumps and chocolate fish. Further if I ever do get ‘that’ trip to the Melbourne office I promise I will inflict pain upon myself and enter a half marathon in Melbourne. If there are none to enter at the time I swear I will run at least 21 laps around the building. Captain Planet Outfit TBC.

TO EVERYONE:
Let’s be fair I am not a natural runner – in fact I am an incredibly gumby looking slow ‘jogger’ but hey at least I’m getting out there and running for the greater good. As well as the $500 captain planet challenge I’ve also set a personal goal to complete this in under 2hrs, 15mins. Now this might sound like an average time but this would be a huge personal achievement for me and with your motivation I might just be able to do it.

So…

AND FINALLY some statistics on Heart Disease:

Each day 16 New Zealanders die as a result of coronary heart disease. That's one person every 90 minutes. And many of these deaths are premature and preventable.

Cardiovascular disease (heart, stroke & blood vessel disease) is the single leading cause of death in New Zealand. It causes 40 percent of all deaths annually in our country - making it more deadly than all forms of cancer. New research shows that young adults in their 20s and 30s are being admitted to hospital for heart attacks more than ever before, and that this age group is dying at a faster rate than people of the same age in previous generations. Much of this change is due to unhealthy lifestyles - poor eating habits, lack of physical activity and being a smoker.

But the good news is that many risk factors for heart disease are preventable, if people make healthy lifestyle choices.
