Hi All - One of my CCE friends here in the UK, Kevin Parke, is taking on an amazing challenge: to complete 7 marathons - one in each of our 7 CCE territories (6 in Europe and 1 in Atlanta) - in 7 days. Kevin will finish his odyssey in London on October 2nd at the Olympic Park for the 2012 Games. In conjunction with this challenge, Kevin is raising funds for a great UK charity, Kidscape, which is dedicated to protecting children from abuse and bullying.
As some of you know, after I ran my first and only marathon last year, I swore I'd never do another. However, in a fit of madness a couple of months ago, I committed to run the final marathon with Kevin and to raise funds for Kidscape. I'd like to ask for your support (moral and financial!) as I run with Kevin for his final 26.2 miles.
