Event: adidas Auckland Marathon 2011

Event Date: 30/10/2011

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.

Each year the students where I (Sharon) work are involved in 'Jump Rope for Heart'. On the day of last year's event a Mum approached me at the desk and said, "I'm sorry Ben (name changed) won't be able to join in as he's a heart child. Now that got me thinking, for forty years my heart has just done its stuff and as a result I have; skipped in the playground, been part of the school relay team, completed two Duke of Edinburgh expeditions, climbed mountains, cycled on trails, been to aerobics, step, the gym, run heaps and kicked a ball in the back yard with my kids…Doesn't everyone deserve these opportunities? And wouldn't it be fantastic to help make this possible?

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

We've signed up as a Heart Racers to raise money to support the Heart Foundation. By donating through our webpage you will be helping the Heart Foundation continue its vital work in research, cardiac rehabilitation, education programmes and resources.

We'll do all the hard work (train for and complete the event), but we really need you to make a difference to the hearts of New Zealanders.

So, please could you sponsor us?

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.

This is our chance to give others the opportunity to climb mountains too!

We really appreciate your 'big heart' and support.

Brett and Sharon
