Hame DMC's running to SAVE YOUR LIFE

I don't know about you, but I love a good burger. Or a pie. Or a pizza. I guess what I'm saying is, I love junk food. Unfortunately, my love, your love, our love, is a big contributor to cardiovascular disease.

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. DEADLIER THAN CANCER!!! It's like a ninja. AN EVIL NINJA!

The nature of who is affected by it 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.

Now I'm going to run to try and stop myself from getting cardiovascular disease, but if that fails, and to help my buddies who can't be bothered doing the same, I'm also a Heart Racer in the Pelorus Trust Wellington Round the Bays 2010, to support the Heart Foundation. So donate a little or a lot, and help them save us one day!

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
