Event: Taylors Nelson Women's Triathlon

Event Date: 5/4/2009

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.

My grandfather was one of these people and as a nurse in a medical unit, i see the results of heart disease every day. This is a chance for me to help out in a different way by raising some money to help fight heart disease before I need to care for those suffering from heart disease in hospital. I'm also doing this for my kids so I will be around to watch them grow up :)

So, help me as I join the race to beat heart disease.

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.

So, please could you sponsor me?

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

Taylors Nelson Women's Triathlon

Run 5km or walk 3km; cycle 13km and then swim 4 lengths (approx. 100m) of Riverside Pool.
A fun event where elite athletes are humbled by the courage and tenacity of the beginners, and where first timers out number the ‘old hands'.
New mums are an important part of the event – as more
