My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 1st of November 09 I am running the New York Marathon.

Of all the crazy things I have ever done or thought I could do this is the most insane.

When being sold the idea 12 months ago, I thought 40,000 people run the NY marathon, how hard can it be? If they can do it surely I can. What I failed to realise was that these crazy people had given up their normal lives to achieve running the marathon.

Over the last 6 months I have bored everyone stupid including myself with talking about the marathon and my training so you will be pleased to know it’s nearly over.  I ask now that you will sponsor me for the good cause I am putting myself through this pain for, The Children Society.

All money I raise goes directly to the Charity, I paid for my travel etc, I need to raise 1,500 pounds for the privilege of entering the race. I have already given 1,000 pounds myself.

Looking forward to finishing the race, I started with high hopes of running certain times, but after running 22 miles in training I will be happy to just finish, I’m looking forward crossing the line and several glasses of wine.

Thanks for your support.
