Felix Mao Heart Health Fundraiser

Donation protected
Hi, I'm Felix from Switzerland, and I'm taking on a physical challenge to support a cause close to my heart - literally. I'll be performing 1000 burpees to raise funds for the American Heart Association (AHA).



Why This Matters

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death globally. Yet, with research, education, and prevention, many of these deaths are preventable.

My Personal Connection

This cause is deeply personal to me. I've witnessed firsthand how cardiovascular events impact individuals and families, showing me the profound effects these health challenges can have on everyone involved. This experience inspired me to appreciate and care for my own heart health.

Every day, I'm grateful for my healthy heart. The sensation of my heart beating strongly during exercise is a visceral reminder of its importance. It's a feeling I want everyone to experience, free from the worry of heart disease.

The Challenge

1000 burpees. It's a grueling test of endurance that will push me to my absolute limit. I'll be tackling this challenge in intervals, allowing me to maintain intensity throughout the entire 1000 reps. Why burpees? Because with every rep, I'll feel my heart pounding, my lungs heaving, and be reminded of the incredible gift of a healthy cardiovascular system.

The American Heart Association

I've chosen to support the American Heart Association because of their comprehensive approach to fighting heart disease and stroke. The AHA:

  • Funds cutting-edge research to enhance our understanding of cardiovascular health
  • Provides education and resources for heart disease prevention
  • Advocates for policies that promote better heart health
  • Offers support services for heart disease and stroke survivors

The Impact of Your Donation

Your contribution to the American Heart Association through this fundraiser will support:

  • Innovative cardiovascular research
  • Community programs for heart health awareness
  • Development of guidelines for heart disease prevention and treatment
  • Support services for heart disease and stroke survivors

How to Donate

You have two options to support this cause:


Both options support the same cause, so please choose whichever you're most comfortable with.

Transparency and Accountability

Transparency is paramount to me. To ensure full accountability, every donor will receive a recording of the 1000 burpee challenge as proof of completion. Due to the international nature of this fundraiser, I will personally facilitate the transfer of all donations to the American Heart Association. Once the fundraiser concludes, I will provide a donation receipt as evidence that all funds were used as intended. Your trust and support mean everything, and I am committed to absolute transparency throughout this process.

Join Me in This Effort

Each of the 1000 burpees I complete represents a step towards a world with healthier hearts. Your donation, no matter the size, helps turn each rep into real change through the work of the American Heart Association.
Together, we can make a real difference - one heartbeat, one burpee at a time.
