My target 95 kms

I'm running this 95 km this July for every person in Australia who dies from a heart attack, one every 95 minutes.

This July I'm starting from a 95km goal and running towards zero. I need my fundraising tally to rise as I count down each kilometre, so I'm asking for your help. Please donate.

Because every 95 minutes, someone loses their life to a heart attack in our country. That's why I'm choosing to Run to Zero.

Give me motivation to reach my running goals, while helping fund Heart Foundation's research and Health care programs.

This is a matter that touches me personally -

1 in 4 deaths in Australia are caused by cardiovascular disease (which includes heart disease, stroke and blood vessel disease)

A few risk factors for cardiovascular disease include - high blood pressure, mental illness (including severe anxiety, depression, bipolar and schizophrenia), having PCOS or other hormonal disorders, and having a chronic inflammatory disease.

Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death for women globally, and about 20 women a day in Australia die from coronary heart disease.

For those unable to donate please spread this matter to raise awareness. Most of you will know or have known someone who has experienced cardiovascular disease. We can’t solve the problem all at once but we can one step - or km - at a time.
