Event: The Great Ride for Heart 2010
Event Date: 1/2/2010

In the first two weeks of February 2010 the Heart Foundation is organising the Great Ride to raise money for a new chair or Professor of preventative heart health. There is a huge need in New Zealand to set up preventive programmes that will benefit all of us and stop the tragic loss of family, friends and loved ones dying prematurely of heart disease.

Most of us will know someone who has had a heart attack, and the devastation this can cause both to the person and their families Nearly half of all people who die of a heart attack had no knowledge that they had a problem at all.

My own area of research is trying to prevent mild asymptomatic rheumatic Heart disease in children becoming severe heart disease in adult by screening children in schools with portable echocardiography.

I have decided to try and complete the South Island which starts in Nelson – it will take 6 days to get to Bluff.
