What have I got myself in for?!?!
For those that know me well, you know that i am no runner. But having lost my very dear friend Maria McKay to cancer this year, I wanted to raise some much needed funds for charity and so I signed up to run a half marathon to do just that. crazy? yes! random? absolutely!...but that was one of my favourite things about Maria.
She was one of a kind and would be the first of any friend standing on the side line cheering me on during such an event. She would then be the first at the finish line, waiting with a beer. I miss her terribly every day and I hope your donations will help fund research projects to fight this terrible disease and stop other lives being taken from us way too soon.
Your support and encouragement means a lot so thank you!!! I’m going to need it to get me through the 21kms!
I’d like to thank Grant, Tracey, Sonja and Cristina who are all joining me on this journey. The girls are running to raise money for Meningitis Research Foundation, in memory of Tracey's friend Sheree. Their page is http://www.justgiving.com/wethoughtitwas5km
Here’s to the long road ahead!
