Jennian Homes Fun Run/Walk

Bev Sutherland —

Jennian Homes works alongside the Heart Foundation to hold an amazing Mother’s Day 5km Fun Run/Walk in Hagley Park to bring awareness to heart disease in women – especially mothers. Heart disease is the biggest killer of New Zealand women, claiming the lives of over 3000 women every year.   We are asking women to band together to love their hearts.

Last year there were around 1000 participants and supporters doing their best and giving it a go in Hagley Park.   This year we hope to increase that number to 1200 people - out in the fresh-air on Mother’s Day giving it their all for the Heart Foundation.  We are very excited about bringing this event to the Canterbury area and have been receiving some amazing feedback and a high level of interest from people keen to attend.

The Fun Run is a wonderful family friendly can-do event and we encourage people of all ages and abilities to have a go.   Each participant receives a collector’s t-shirt designed by Dick Frizzell and all proceeds go directly to the Heart Foundation.
