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!

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  :)
