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

Cardiovascular disease (heart attack and stroke) is the leading cause of death in New Zealanders and accounts for 40% of all deaths.


In the first two weeks of February I will be joining a group of cyclist who are committed to making a difference to the heart health of all New Zealanders. Together we will be riding the length of the New Zealand in order to raise money for research into preventing and promoting awareness about the importance of heart disease.

Our aim is to help raise $1 million for the Heart Foundation's Cardiovascular Research Fund. To achieve this each rider is seeking to raise $10,000 and every cent will go directly towards supporting a new chair (a professor) in preventive heart health research at the University of Auckland.

The planned route and approximate distances are
Day
1: Cape Reinga Rawene 172 km
2: Rawene Matakohe 152 km
3: Matakohe Auckland 140 km
4: Auckland Matamata 160 km
5: Matamata Turangi 179 km
6: Turangi Marton 164 km
7: Marton Wellington 170 km
8: Wellington to Nelson by air, no bike day (a welcome rest to the butt)
9: Nelson Murchison 125 km
10: Murchison Hanmer Springs 176 km
11: Hanmer Springs Christchurch 134 km
12: Christchurch Timaru (evening bus to Twizel) 163 km
13: Twizel Queenstown 187 km
14: Queenstown Bluff 207 km

Total 2117 km

Over the years I have met many New Zealanders who are impacted by heart disease and don’t want to see their children, and loved ones suffer as they have. Let’s help make this become a reality by becoming a sponsor. I am fully committed to this challenge and I would like to set you the challenge of becoming a heart health sponsor and becoming part of the making New Zealand heart healthy.

It would be great if you or a group of friends, or place of work, could sponsor me $1 per km for one of these legs (or even the whole lot!)

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
