The end of a wet and cold 7 kms on the 27th of January.

Heart disease is a killer that we generally associate with older people. But more frequently now we are hearing that heart attacks are affecting our young adults in ever increasing numbers. Our children and teenagers are faced with multiple food and recreational choices that contribute to their chances of being overweight and developing diabetes and heart disease. Instilling good lifestyle habits now is a vital investment in future health and wellbeing.

Our family want to take some proactive action to avoid being part of the heart disease statistics. The Manawatu Striders 7's series is an ideal way of getting some exercise in a fun and relaxed environment where a bit of friendly rivalry is encouraged. Each week we can face the challenge with 1,000 other competitors and try and do just a little better than we did the week before. It also means that the kids try and beat their parents, and the parents try and beat each other! Good healthy family fun!!

So, help us as we join the race to beat heart disease.
