Heart Stopper Challenge West Coast 2012

03 Mar 2012

Grey District Aquatic Centre

10am start

Event Overview

The Challenge:  Teams of 4-6 people take the plunge into a spa pool filled with icy water for five minutes.

A great team building event:  It only takes 5 minutes, requires no training and a little extra body fat may even help! Create a team theme, come in fancy dress and have a laugh while supporting Kiwi kids with heart defects in your community.

The Inspiration:  Every year 450 open heart surgeries are performed on Kiwi children. During the surgery a child's chest cavity is cooled down in an icy slush to slow their heart rate.

Entry:  There is no entry fee to participate in this event, BUT we ask that each team member pledges to raise $100 to support the work of @Heart in the West Coast.

@ Heart (formerly Heart Children NZ)

@Heart (formerly Heart Children NZ) is the only organisation in NZ that provides life long support to ll those affected by a childhood heart condition. Every week, 12 babies are born with a heart condition and childhood heart disease takes more lives than all other childhood diseases combined. Children with heart conditions need practical and emotional support throughout their lives. That’s what we are here for and that’s why we have kids@Heart, teens@Heart, adults@Heart and families@Heart.

We are not funded by the Government and are not affiliated to the Heart Foundation. Your donations will help us continue providing heart children and families free access to our 50+ services. For more information, please visit our website www.heartnz.org.nz. Charity Registration Number CC20102.
