Event: adidas Auckland Marathon 2006

Event Date: 29/10/2006

Welcome to my fundraising page. I will be running the full Auckland Marathon on October 29 this year (that's 42.195km or 26 miles 385 yards in old-speak!). As part of this, Iâ€™ve signed up as a Heart Racer to raise money to support The National Heart Foundation of New Zealand.

I've taken on the Heart Racer thing literally - I'm running the entire marathon in a heart costume with the Heart Foundation logo on the front. I bet that'll get some attention! Photo to come as soon as I can find my USB camera cable.

Thanks to all those who have donated already. For those who haven't then don't hesitate! Click the "Sponsor Me" button at the right or scroll down to make a donation. Don't be shy!

No Titirangi today (sob, no muffin and coffee). Just ran around One Tree Hill and back. Felt much better than on Thursday. Just a matter of resting up now and letting the body recover completely ready for next weekend. Last pack run tomorrow.

12km

Each day 16 New Zealanders die as a result of coronary heart disease. Thatâ€™s one person every 90 minutes. And many of these deaths are premature and preventable.

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 who is affected by it is changing. New research shows that 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.

By donating through this webpage you will be helping the Heart Foundation continue its vital work in research, cardiac rehabilitation, education programmes and resources.

Select the "Make a donation" button below. Itâ€™s simple, fast and totally secure and the money goes directly to the Heart Foundationâ€™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 everyone you know!

Many thanks for your support
