I love dressing up, I sort of love running (like a penguin). How can I do both things and do some good? Three years ago I discovered the answer! Become a Heartracer and do the half at the Auckland Marathon. I'm doing it for the third year 'running' (one more year and I get my roadster number!). Why? Because cardiovascular disease is robbing us of too many really great people.

The bad news is every day 16 New Zealanders die as a result of coronary heart disease. In the time I take to do my half, one person will have died from CHD!

The good news is The National Heart Foundation are working to help reduce the effects of cardiovascular injury on the lives of New Zealanders. They want everyone to know that many risk factors for heart disease are preventable, if people make healthy lifestyle choices. There are examples of this in my life: my grandmother died of a MI,my mother survived one and made some good choices to stop it happening again and a great guy at the running club I belong to is bouncing back from a very recent MI, thanks to being fit and healthy.

So, I'm back again as a Heart Racer to raise money to support The National Heart Foundation of New Zealand. By donating through my webpage you will be supporting them too.

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!

Many thanks for your support
