Fiona McKenzie wants to help stop hearts hurting.
Fiona McKenzie wants to help stop hearts hurting. Having lost the love of her life, Dylan, to cardiomyopathy aged 36, she knows only too well the hurt and destruction created by heart complications. Not only for the people left behind, but also for those living with heart conditions.
Tragically Dylan’s twin died the same year, from the same heart condition which makes it difficult for the heart to pump and causes the heart muscle to become enlarged.
For the second time, Fiona is running the 12km Traverse at ASB Auckland Marathon and fundraising for the Heart Foundation.
You can support Fiona’s efforts by donating to her fundraising page - aucklandmarathon2017.everydayhero.com...

What do you think of this 11-year-old's chosen cause?
A Whangamatā 11-year-old has placed his award-winning mullet up for auction to raise money for Starship Hospital.
Kahū Hall, who named himself ‘Taco’ when he was three years old, is selling his mullet after growing it for three years. Taco said he was motivated to raise the money after his friend Evie Taylor stayed at Starship Hospital for a heart operation.
