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

In the first two weeks of February next I will be joining a group of colleagues, cardiologists and health professionals to cycle from Cape Reinga to Bluff - the Great NZ Ride for Heart.

Having previously completed quite a number of long distance events (including the Coast to Coast a number of times), as Medical Director of the Heart Foundation I am now back on my bike to help lead the ride, albeit from the rear!

Our aim is to boost awareness of heart disease prevention throughout the regions of NZ and help raise $1 million for the Heart Foundation's Cardiovascular Research Fund.
Every cent raised will go directly towards a new Chair in preventive heart health research at the University of Auckland, which will benefit all New Zealanders. This is a challenging and compelling cause to ensure the establishment of a University "research hub" for the benfit of our grandchildren and all NZers in perpetuity

I have set an ambitious personal fund raising target for which I need your generous support. I would very much appreciate your sponsorship.

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 and contribute to this cause today! Think of it as an investment in the future health of our country and please pass it on to your family and friends!

Many thanks for your support
