Help us win the fight against heart disease

Event: adidas Auckland Marathon 2011
Event Date: 30/10/2011

The first symptom for most people is death and 17 million people die from it every year. In fact this disease is the leading cause of death by a long shot accounting for 34% of funerals globally making it more deadly than all forms of cancer, earthquake, tsunami and angry co-worker combined!

The good news is that most forms of cardiovascular disease are preventable; smoking, physical inactivity and an unhealthy diet are the main risk factors. Whats scary however is that research shows young adults in their 20s and 30s are being admitted to hospital for heart attacks more than ever before.

Running a Marathon has been on my 'list' for a while and on the 30th of October I plan to tick it off completing the 42km run inside of 3 hours 30 min.

Rather than just doing it for my own satisfaction an ego I've signed up as a Heart Racer to raise money to support the Heart Foundation. Please help me in the race against heart disease. By donating through my webpage you will be helping the Heart Foundation continue its vital work in research, cardiac rehabilitation, education programs and resources.

I'll do all the hard work (train for and complete the event), but I really need you to make a difference.

So, please sponsor me!

Select the "Make a donation" button below. It's simple, fast, 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.

Go on do it now! And pass this page on to your family and friends!

Cheers for the support

Derry
