Give Five to Save Lives

 

High Five for the One In Five

2nd Dec 2019


#GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organisations to transform their communities and the world on December 3, 2019, and every day. 

As part of the celebration of global generosity, LetsPlay.Live is teaming up with the Heart Foundation to ask for your help!

Heart disease is New Zealand’s single biggest killer, with more than 180,000 New Zealander’s living with heart disease.  

The Heart Foundation is New Zealand’s heart charity that is leading the fight against it. If you have it to spare, we would love if you could donate $5 to help the one in five Kiwi’s affected by heart disease.

By giving us a high five for the one in five, you’ll be helping save lives.

Head here to donate!
