<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">On the 19 of May I will be running the Great Wall of China Marathon in Beijing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is 26.2 miles along the ancient Great Wall.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is one of the more challenging marathons in the world due to it being at altitude and not remotely flat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Here is a link to their website: </span><a href="http://www.great-wall-marathon.com/"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">www.great-wall-marathon.com</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"> .<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">I am running this marathon in aid of the Cambodian Children’s Charity as after I have run (if I survive) I am going to volunteer to teach English in an orphanage in Cambodia.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is a cause that I feel is so worthwhile, you cannot chose which circumstances you are born into so for those less fortunate we can help by giving them the opportunities that we normally take for granted.</span></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">My training is going well and I am aiming to complete the marathon in under 6 hours – bearing in mind the terrain of this marathon this may be a little optimistic but it’s worth a try.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> My fund raising target is £2620 meaning that i will hopefully raise £100 for every mile I run. </span>Happy Giving.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Thanks,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Charlotte</span></span></p>
