Welcome to the StatPac making a difference web page.

Thank you to everyone who has shown their support by donating to the Heart Foundation.

We have reached our fundraising goal and are all eager to get racing!

Cheers

Who we are:

Jonathan Challener - Team manager. Ran it last year and managed a time of 32mins 2secs. That was with a 2min toilet break half way round. This year he is looking to improve on that and hopes to get 28mins or below.

Amy - Running the half marathon. Should be a walk in the park for this seasoned pro and ironman competitor.

Patrick - First time for RTB's and plans to do the 7km in 28mins or below. Expect Jonathan and Patrick to be competing for 1st place out of the team.

Guannan - Second year in a row and with a time of just under 34mins last year will be looking to improve if possible, or might just walk with the others.

Ray - A guitar hero who has never ran 7km before but a keen walker. Ray plans to keep us entertained on route with a rendition of Sweet Home Alablama.

JP - Another first timer who might archive it after this year. JP is actually the youngest member of the team by 1year 10months 3 weeks behind Hui!

Christina - 'Are we there yet' has been training hard and is a true competitor at heart so will be looking to avoid a repeat of the recent amazing race result.

Hui - The youngest acting member of the team and a closet fitness freak who if he can stop texting and leave his mobile at home might get a good time.

What's this all for?

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.

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 more 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.

So, help us and join the race to beat heart disease.

We have signed up as Heart Racers to raise money to support The National Heart Foundation of New Zealand. By donating through this webpage you will be helping the Heart Foundation continue its vital work. We'll do all the hard work (train for and complete the event.

So, please sponsor our team today?
