Nicole is running her first Half Marathon in October as a Heart Racer for The Heart Foundation. One of the things she is hoping to help them with is an initiative next year that would be implemented in schools and even pre-schools to promote Health, Diet and Fitness. There would be a specific focus on Pacific Island and Maori children whom statistics show are more likely to suffer from Obesity and Heart related problems. Nicole feels particularly passionate about the marathon after losing her Dad to Heart disease last year.
