Every Heart Beat Counts!
My goal is to raise $15,000 for the Heart Foundation by the 10th October 2012 by running the New York Marathon in order to support the heart health of all Australians.
Heart disease is the leading cause of death in Australia and we simply cannot underestimate this type of disease because we are all affected in some way; either ourselves or through loved ones.
In my case, my father in law has deep vein thrombosis, which is considered to be one of the leading cardiovascular diseases. He is under regular medical supervision and continually on blood thinning medication. Deep vein thrombosis can affect the whole quality of life and can lead to death. This is the reason why it is our mission to raise funds and build awareness about the importance of a healthy, active lifestyle.
By working together we can make a difference to the future of Australians!
Please help me make a difference by clicking on Donate Now to make a secure online donation.
If you would like to help in another way, other ways to support this great cause are:
- by holding a work place charity day or month (please contact me if you would like further information)
- by putting up a piggy bank to collect loose change (I am happy to supply a piggy bank)
- monies donated (all monies above $2 are tax deductible)
- sponsorship
- products that support my marathon training
- donating products, vouchers and items for my charity auction in May
- share this website on facebook or on your website or forward it to everyone you know
- or if you have any ideas with which you would like to contribute please let me know.
Thank you for your support!
