Hi there,
Welcome to the George Legget Great Ride for Heart fundraising page!
You may be wondering what I am doing joining a bunch of mad cardiologists, nurses, and researchers on this amazing journey to spread the word about this great cause?
Well, it’s not just that my dad is one of the organizers , it’s because I really believe that there is so much we can do to prevent heart disease developing at all ages. I will be the youngest Great Heart Rider ( I will be riding on my 15 th birthday!) , and my aim is to raise at least $1000 towards setting up the Preventive Heart Health program .
I started riding a bike when I was 3 years old and have always loved cycling, mountain biking , and more recently road racing. I have quite a few scars on my knees to show for it, but I am really looking forward to joining the Great Heart Riders in February. Going round Lake Taupo with five of them at the end of November was a huge buzz for me! I can’t wait until we are cruising past Mt. Cook!
We live in a beautiful country and I hope this Great Ride will encourage people to “get on their bikes” – its good for us and good for our hearts!

Please could you sponsor me?

Many thanks for your support
