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 causes 40 percent of all deaths annually in our country - making it more deadly than all forms of cancer.

Much of this is due to unhealthy lifestyles - poor eating habits, lack of physical activity and smoking.

I'm smoke free, exercising frequently and tryyyying to eat healthy haha!

I'm turning 21 at the end of this year and wanted to do something to help myself as well as others before my birthday milestone.

My family has a history of heart disease, and for all the times that the heart foundation has helped people close to my heart, I feel I owe support in return!

So, help me as I join the race to beat heart disease.

The good news is that many risk factors for heart disease ARE preventable, (if people make healthy lifestyle choices.)

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 the hard work (train for and complete the Auckland Marathon and Taupo Half), but I really need YOU to help make a difference to the hearts of New Zealanders.

Select the "Make a donation" button below to help out.

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.

Love, health and luck to you all! Xo
