What would you do if you only had 90 minutes to live?
Every 90 minutes a New Zealander dies of heart disease. That's more than 5000 families torn apart by heart disease every year.
New Zealanders can help do something about this by supporting Heart Week -the Heart Foundation's annual appeal which runs from February 10 - 16, 2014. Volunteers will be hitting the pavements around the country on Friday 14th and Saturday 15th for the charity's street collection.
As a not-for-profit, non-government organisation, the Heart Foundation relies on the generous support of everyday New Zealanders.
Funds raised during Heart Week will go toward life-saving heart research, programmes to encourage healthy lifestyle changes and helping people affected by heart disease.
