Jean-Marc Petit's Fundraising Page

Hi Everyone

My name is Jean-Marc Petit and I am a year 13 student at Sacred Heart College.
This year, I signed up to compete in the Auckland Marathon again, and thought that it would be a good idea to register to the Heart Foundation and become a "Heart Racer."
We all know someone, a loved one, a friend, who have had or is suffering from a heart problem; my Grandfather had to have a triple-bypass, so this is a cause that is very close to me. By registering to this very worthwhile cause, I thought I could get people to sponsor me and the money would be put to good use.

All you need to do is make a few mouse clicks and know you're a part of something bigger, you're helping people who are really in need.
So let me do all the hard work - training, competing - and go to my web page and sponsor me. If you have any questions or queries please don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you

Kindest Regards
Jean-Marc Petit




Each day 16 New Zealanders die as a result of coronary heart disease. That's one person every 90 minutes. And many of these deaths are premature and preventable.

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.

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.

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

So, help me as I join the race to beat heart disease.

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
