Have you heard about the HEARTSTOPPER CHALLENGE?

The Christchurch based Linden Leaves people have put a team together, and are going to take a bath - not the kind that Linden Leaves is normally known for!!!

They are aiming to try to raise $5000 for The Heart Foundation HEART CHILDREN programme.

You can check out the site about the event here: http://www.heartchildren.org.nz/
and our page for pledges here:

If you will be in Christchurch on May 22nd, come support the intrepid LINDEN LEAVES HEART CHALLENGE TEAM as they brave a tubful of icy water (in theme dress!)
for the Heart Stopper Challenge in Christchurch 2009 in an effort to raise funds for Heart Children New Zealand Inc.

Twelve babies are born every week with a heart defect in New Zealand. For many of these children medical intervention is their only chance of survival. This year alone, 450 open heart surgeries will be conducted on Kiwi children. During surgery the child is cooled down in icy slush to slow the heart. That's the inspiration for this unique event.

To fundraise, teams of 4 or 5 get together, choose a dress theme (the wackier the better) & plunge into an icy pool for 5 minutes.

If you are able to make a pledge and/or spread the word widely we would truly appreciate the support!
Thanks so much!

Spread the word - please forward this email to your friends and colleagues who may be interested so that the Heart Children New Zealand Inc really benefits from our efforts.
Thank you for your support,

LINDEN LEAVES HEARTSTOPPER TEAM TO FREEZE FOR A GOOD CAUSE!
