Best Sports Rub Ever!

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 if people make healthy lifestyle choices.

Running makes my heart sing! I have been a runner for thirty years, on and off, and I'm happier, healthier and more focused because of it.

Every day that I head out the door at 6:00am for my run I give thanks for a healthy body and heart that allow me to do what I love.

After running four marathons I want to give something back to others through my efforts. Will you help me as I join the race to beat heart disease and sponsor my run in the 2011 adidas Auckland Marathon.

I've signed up as a Heart Racer to raise money to support the Heart Foundation. 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 event), 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 today! And pass it on to your family and friends!

Many thanks for your time and support.
