Event: AMI Round the Bays - Wellington

Event Date: 20/2/2011

Hey!

I have put my name down to do the Wellington Round the Bays Half Marathon on 20th Feb. This seemed a great idea at the time, new year.. new challenge.. however now its dawned on me exactly what's involved! I have never done a half marathon before and although I have been training regularly, for a couple of months, I haven't been going further than 5km!

I need your support! And so does the NZ Heart Foundation. They do some great work and it would be fantastic to put my effort into a good cause. So please sponsor me! Thank you!!

NZ Heart Foundation information

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.

Cardiovascular disease (heart, stroke & blood vessel disease) is the single leading cause of death in New Zealand. It causes 40 percent of all deaths annually in our country - making it more deadly than all forms of cancer.

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.

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.

Many thanks for your support
