Become A Heart Racer

Join the race to help save lives

 

With more than one in three of us affected by heart disease at some point in our lives, the chances are you know someone who has heart problems. So why not get your running shoes on and raise money to help protect the people you love and yourself as well.

 

Heart Racer

If you want to really make a difference get your friends, family and supporters to sponsor you as Heart Racer. You will be raising vital funds for the Heart Foundation and if you raise $200 or more you will receive a free Heart Foundation cap and a Certificate of Appreciation from the Heart Foundation.

The top 5 fundraisers will be acknowledged on stage following Round the Bays where they will be presented with their Certificate of Appreciation and given a big thank you from the Heart Foundation.

 

You can become a Heart Racer and raise money for the Heart Foundation in 3 easy steps:

 

  1. Create your Heart Racer fundraise webpage
  2. Email your webpage to friends, family and supporters asking them to show their    support by sponsoring you as a Heart Racer.
  3. Your supporters donate using their credit card and their donation goes directly to the Heart Foundation trust account.

 

Setting up your Heart Racer webpage is really easy and only takes a few minutes. No tricky forms and no concerns about collecting the money after the event.

Importantly, the money you raise will help save lives. Heart disease and stroke are the biggest cause of death in New Zealand, totaling around 40% of all deaths every year. Many of these deaths are premature and preventable.

 

The Heart Foundation is the nation’s heart charity and we are totally committed to preventing people’s lives being devastated by heart disease. The Heart Foundation relies on charitable donations to carry out its vital work and the money you raise makes a huge difference. Together we can help beat heart disease.
