In the first two weeks of February I will be joining a group of 25 cardiologists and health professionals in an epic cycle ride that will cover the length of New Zealand.

For my part, I am starting the ride in Nelson and riding the length of the South Island. I'll be part of the Ricoh team(of 5) joining the other 25 cyclists riding the length of NZ. I'll be cycling 1015 km over 6 days.

Our aim is to boost awareness of heart disease prevention and help raise $1 million for the Heart Foundation's Cardiovascular Research Fund. Every cent we raise will go directly towards an essential chair in new preventive heart health research at the University of Auckland, which will benefit All New Zealanders.

Along the way we will engage with locals and stage fundraising events in selected towns to raise awareness of heart health from Cape Reinga to Bluff. I need your support to complete my mission of fundraising $5,000.00 myself!

I'll do all the hard work (train for and complete the ride), but I really need you to make a difference to the hearts of New Zealanders.

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! The future heart health of every New Zealander depends on it

Many thanks for your support.

Phil
