MY SHORT BIT
Madness. Maniac. Marathon.
I've been offered an entry into this Sunday's Auckland Marathon. I've done zero training* but reckon I'm ok. If I take it easy, go at a gentle pace, mind over matter says I can finish it without stopping.

I'd be an idiot if I did just that

Coronary heart disease. Not good.
I'll only do it if I can raise at least NZ$200 by Saturday (NZ)
for the -===Heart Foundation===-

Please help me help them.

Tell your friends too.
!! ONLY 72 HOURS TO DO THIS !!
(created Wed 11:55BST/23:55NZT)

cheers
Steve (aka Suggs) x x x


ps: If some philanthropist donates the equivalent of NZ$300 in a single payment by Saturday morning, I'll do it (albeit even slower) in fancy dress.

*did try 3km just then to see if legs were ok. Last race was Feb 2011 - 10 mile offroad. Thought it was 10km onroad.


UPDATE: WOW!!! amazing and generous response within 36 hours. Looks like I'm doing it.



THE LONG BIT (which you should read too)

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.

Multiply that by the world. It can affect you too. Any research here can benefit other nations.

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.

But the good news is that many risk factors for heart disease are preventable, if people make healthy lifestyle choices.

So, please could you sponsor me?
