84-year-old Henry and his wife, Edith, thought life had little to no surprises left for them. How wrong they were! Neither of them could believe it when they received the fortuitous phone call, sharing the news they’d won a brand-new Jennian home in Pāpāmoa.

“It’s a privilege to have won such a beautifully furnished home. The only thing that would make it better would be if it had happened earlier in life!”

We’re back at Fieldays, standing alongside New Zealand’s rural communities to talk heart health and offer free blood pressure checks 💚

We know that 1 person in rural New Zealand dies every 4 hours from heart attack or stroke. But 1 in 3 of those deaths is avoidable with the right prevention, or timely diagnosis and treatment. So if you’re at Fieldays, roll up your sleeve, and have a blood pressure check and a chat with the team. A few minutes today could help protect your heart for years to come.
