Great to see so much support. For those who have donated, many many thanks; for those who are thinking about it; remember this is a good cause and even a small donation helps a great deal.

In May 2009, I have signed up to run in the Adidas Auckland Marathon, my second marathon ever. The first one was in Christchurch at the end of May 2009 and I finished under bitter cold circumstances. Although I did have a finishing time in my mind, my primary goal was to finish and I did in 4.49.56. For the experienced ones under you, they will agree that this is way too long, so my next goal is to improve this time in Auckland.

Each day 16 New Zealanders die as a result of coronary heart disease. That's one person every 90 minutes.

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.

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

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.

So, please could you sponsor me?

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
