Talofa Lava,

My name is Naoia Mumuta,

If you know me, you will know that this is the first time I've put myself out there.

So here's my story:

I'm almost 30 years old and for majority of these years I have been Obese. The last time I remember being 100kgs was when I was 10years old.

It's now time that I stand up for myself and set goals that will help me live longer and at the same time bless the needs of those who are suffering from all different kinds of heart conditions.

My Goal:

I will commit to loosing up to 50kgs starting 1st January 2012 finishing on 17th November 2012. I know it's a massive goal but if people on the biggest looser can do it then why can't I?

My Drivers:

My husband Lee Mumuta who tells me everyday I'm his gift from God,loves me no matter my size :), the two most influential Woman in my life are - My Mum (Terri Siataga) for being that back bone in my life,and My Nana(Lemalie Siataga-Tuia) who sadly passed away from a heart attack when I was only 14. (this is for you nana) x

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?

Many thanks for your support

Much Alofas Naoia Mumuta xx
