UP RUN AND PERSONAL

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.

The nature of who is affected by it is changing. 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 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), 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.

Many thanks for your support.

UP RUN AND PERSONAL

After 8 running events last year and counting to 5 so far this year, up running has become part of our lives. Running has helped my husband & I to focus especially during the tough times.

Three years ago, a woman who owes large sums to IRD and WINZ, who is struggling to pay for her mortgage as a single mother, then she made her situation worst when her own youngest son was convicted of 24 counts of rape, combine all that with her desparate, manipulative and out of control envious attitude to life; This woman decided to turn against us for her own benefit.

It never ceased to amaze us, that when one is fighting such a bad situation, running for even just half an hour helped us tremendously to refocus. We fought hard and won as a team.

RUN - FOCUS - FIGHT FOR YOUR LIVES -
LOOK AFTER YOUR HEART!
