My story
[Finished all 26.2 miles in just under six hours; 5:59:21.]
[Latest pics and info are on the Chainmail Marathon blog.]
Hi all,
We are raising funds for the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children (RBHSC).
Rob is going to run the full Belfast Marathon in some medieval armour; the heavy part is the big chainmail vest (or maille haubergeon, if you like) that currently weighs in at 11kg or 24lb. (photo back up soon)
Ivan, in the role of concerned brother, is running alongside in a different costume - an inflatable cowboy.
Any donations you make are going to the Children's Hospital charity Helping Hand, current projects funded by the charity include pulmonary lung function test system and a multi-sensory play area.
Why?
A year ago, Rob's two year old son required a week in the neurosurgery ward, and thankfully all is well now. He wanted to do more than just feel grateful to the dedicated medical staff.
