Event: ING New York Marathon
Event Date: 7/11/2010

Hi im Stu i dont suffer from heart disease however i do suffer from a condition of the heart muscle called Atrial Fibulation basically my heart muscle cavitates when under severe load so causing my heart to race and get out of rythum sometimes my heart rate will spike at 260 beats per minute !.this causes my blood pressure to drop and i can faint and be left breathless and i am at risk of stroke.
the condition is treated with surgery or drugs.i am treated with drugs.
i am also a endurance athlete having completed 2 coast to coasts 9 multisport events 2 triathlons and 3 marathons.
1 in 8 new zealanders have this condition however very few realise they have it.
I am running the 2010 ing new york marathon my 4th marathon this year it would be great if you could donate to the heart foundation the research they do helps come up with medications that help people like me live a normal full life.
Heart disease affects around 60% of New Zealanders in some way. Please give a little bit it will go along way and so will i 42kms!!
Thanks Stu
