Support my challenge to save Kiwi hearts

This May, I’m taking part in MyMarathon to raise funds for heart research that will help save lives.

I will be attempting to run 84kms across the 31 days of May (just over 2.7kms a day), the equivalent of two marathons, in support of the Heart Foundation.

Every 90 minutes, a person dies of heart disease. It's the single biggest killer in New Zealand, impacting the lives of thousands of Kiwis every day.

I have never been a keen runner, or even much of a reluctant runner, but my colleague and good friend Craig French (aka Cra19) was unfortunately a victim to the disease. After several years of watching his gradually deteriorating quality of life, Craig eventually lost his battle. So I'm taking on this challenge to raise awareness (and hopefully some funds) in support of the work the Heart Foundation does for people like Craig every day.

This is a cause that literally moves me and any donation, big or small, will be a huge help in keeping me motivated and moving.

For those about to run, I salute you.
