Dol's running for Healthy Hearts in Aotearoa 💕

Tēnā koutou e te whānau 

Many moons ago I filmed an ad that played in health centres about heart health, and I learned some things I didn't know. The fact that stuck with me is that you can't always tell if you have heart disease - it can have zero symptoms - heart attacks can strike out of the blue, even to young fit and healthy people.  So it's really important to have a heart health checkup.  

In our family history we've had high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, blocked arteries, and heart attacks. So this May, for my birthday month 🎂 I’m taking part in MyMarathon to raise awareness about the need to check up on our hearts, and to raise funds for heart research that will help save lives. 

If you can, please make a donation to support my challenge, or go get a heart checkup! It would be the best birthday present. Let's keep the love going around and our families strong 💖 

Ngā mihi nui!
