Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

My decision to become a heart racer is from a personal experience I had in my family. In 2002 little did I know that I will have a tragic event in my family. One of those usual evenings where both my parents were cooking dinner it appeared that my dad needed a rest and sat himself in the lounge without complaining. My mother was in the shower at that time, but later on, with her common-sense she insisted that my dad should go to a doctor to have it checked out. The news wasn’t good.
This came as quite a surprise to both my parents and myself – Dad has never been a smoker. He is petite and with my mum around who has always been very health conscious about eating he isn’t overweight. We were all astounded.

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!

Thank you so kindly for your support
