Team Name: Team Breakfast

Page Creator: Jono Williams

Event: adidas Auckland Marathon 2011

Event Date: 30/10/2011

I’m Jonathan Williams, 29 years old (and clinging to those last few months before 30), and I’ve done the half marathon a few times before. I know it’s a challenge, but also totally do-able if you put the work in. There really is nothing like running over the harbour bridge – standing at the top has to be one of the best views in Auckland, at least for a few seconds before you start the sprint down the other side.

I live in Auckland by myself, and spend far too much of my time sitting in a dark room producing Breakfast. I’m the person who talks in Corin, Petra and Tamati’s earpieces – the mysterious voice that attempts to control them (not always successfully).

Both my parents suffer from some form of heart problems, and take may more pills a day than I’d ever like to. I’ve always been reasonably active, but sometimes the pressure of daily life gets in the way of a good exercise regime. It’s great to have a goal like the half marathon to work towards.

This’ll be my third half marathon. The first one took me 2 hours 30m (I was running with a really short friend) and the second one 1 hour 55. This time I’m aiming for ten minutes faster. Not sure I’ll do it, but there’s only one way to find out!

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.

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
