The Great Ride for Heart 2010

In February this year a group of New Zealand's leading cardiologists and health professionals completed an epic bike-ride from Cape Reinga to Bluff. Their aim was to raise $1m to support the Heart Foundation’s Cardiovascular Research Fund.
Thanks to the generosity of their families and friends, the New Zealand business community and the general public, this target was reached and surpassed before they crossed the finish line on February 14th.

However, we still need your support to help reach the overall goal of $5m - to establish a preventive heart health research hub at the University of Auckland through the Cardiovascular Research Fund. We are over half-way there, so please donate now using the link below, or contact us to discuss.

If you missed them, the daily video blogs are in the video player below, and here are some links to some of the riders blogs you might be interested in:

Rob Doughty – Cardiologist
Ron King – Auckland Region Public Health Service
Rod Oram – Business Journalist

Thanks for your support – together we will beat heart disease.

Money donated will be matched dollar for dollar up to $500k thanks to the generosity of The Douglas Trust

This event has raised
$1,187,387.00
so far

You can help us reach our Target!
