Each day 16 New Zealanders die as a result of coronary heart disease.
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 whom it affects is changing. New research shows that more young adults in their 20s and 30s are being admitted to hospital for heart attacks 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.
Daily we receive chain emails threatening dire consequences to our first born child etc, if we do not forward it on. Not the case here. But by forwarding this link, you could be helping to prevent the early death of another New Zealand, if not your own.
I've signed up as a Heart Racer to raise money to support The National Heart Foundation of New Zealand. 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), you can even sleep in while I tour the North Shore early on Sunday the 28th of October, but I really need you to make a difference to the hearts of New Zealanders.
So, please could you sponsor me? I wil be great appreciated by me and countless other 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.
So please help me today! And remember pass it on to your family and friends!
Many thanks for your support. Let's all live forever, or die trying.
