My story

 

Thank you everyone for all of your very generous donations!!!  It is awesome to reach the £500 target!  And it really helped to motivate me on the day, to just keep on running!

Berlin was amazing and without a doubt, one of the coolest things I've ever done!  The endless sea of people was amazing, it was a beatuiful day with a blue sky, and the long flat roads of Berlin were fantastic to run with the 40,000 others! 

I finished in 4 hours and 14 minutes! Which was well within the time I had wanted.

Thank you!  Thank you!

Sarah :)

 

Hi Everyone!!

I'm finally going to run the marathon which I've talked about doing for several years now (and I've thought about doing it for even longer....).   I remeber being really young and seeing my cool aunty Nette and my uncles pound the pavements and run long distances and marathons, and I was inspired to run since then.... I made a promise to myself that I'd get there before turning the big "Three Zero", and so 2 months out from my 30th birthday, I'm going to run the Berlin 2009 Marathon!

I've been training really hard and the goal is to hopefully finish without stopping in under 5 hours!  I hope I can get there...  When I run, I always feel so grateful to have legs and limbs which can take me anywhere!  So I feel that I have to do something to help those less fortunate who don't have the choice to just walk out the door and run, as I do.

No pressure to give anything... but I think this is a really good cause and so if you feel willing or able to assist "Able Child Africa", which is a charity asssiting disabled children and young people in Africa, then please feel free to give... :)

Thanks..... and wish me luck!!!   Sarah xox  :)
