Today in New Zealand, sixteen people will die of coronary heart disease. Many of these deaths are premature and preventable. Help the National Heart Foundation of New Zealand keep more hearts beating by joining the race and becoming a Heart Racer.
Imagine the feeling – you’ve crossed the finish line in your race. You did all the training and now it’s paid off. You’ve been supported by family and friends in the lead up to the race, and cheered on by hundreds of people on route. You simply can’t beat this feeling!
Or can you? What if you knew that at the same time you were making a positive difference to thousands of people affected by heart disease? By becoming a Heart Racer you can join hundreds of others who have decided to fundraise while taking part in a sports event.
No matter what event you’re taking part in – whether it’s the New York City Marathon, the Taupo Iron Man, a 10km bike race or a 5km walk in your home town, you can easily raise money for New Zealand’s Heart Foundation at the same time.
It only takes a few minutes to set up your own personalised webpage and email the link to your family, friends, colleagues and contacts. Your supporters donate to your page using their credit card - we’ll show you how in an easy step-by-step guide.
To donate is easy, safe and totally secure. All donations are sent to The National Heart Foundation of New Zealand's account, to help us in our critical life-saving work. Your efforts will help us fund vital research, advance rehabilitation and provide heart health information for all ages.
So why not start today and help us win the race against heart disease?
