At the time my father died from a heart attack, his age(49) was thought to be young-
But the nature of who is affected by heart disease is changing. 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.

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

We can help to change those shocking statistics!

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.

Please join us in the race to beat heart disease!

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.

Every little bit, or should I say "beat" :) helps… Even if you can't make a donation, pass this on to your family and friends!

Many thanks for your support!

*NewsFlash!* I will be passing on a spotprize won while training at a funrun this weekend. It is a voucher from Fullers GreatSights, for 2 adults, on their Cape Reinga & 90 Mile Beach tour. My supporters are automatically in with a chance for every $5 donated.
