Supporting the Heart Foundation
27 January 2022
Give from the heart, Blake Currie's choice of charity is the Heart Foundation. Blake loves to be active, and believes that all of New Zealand's people should stand a chance against our nation's single biggest killer, heart disease. Smart Pack are proud to support Heart Foundation and the incredible work they do.
In New Zealand, 170,000 people are living with heart disease, and every 90 minutes, a New Zealander dies from this disease. This means almost 1 in 3 deaths in New Zealand are caused by cardiovascular disease. Many of these deaths are premature and preventable. Heart Foundation’s mission is to stop all people in New Zealand dying prematurely from heart disease, and to enable people with the disease to live full lives. Since 1968, the Heart Foundation has donated $82 million to the research of heart disease.
We wanted to do our bit by getting involved in this awesome initiative, as we feel that by donating to this cause, we can show our support and help save Kiwis lives by funding research.
