Carol's New York Adventure

Carol Martin is raising money for Cerebral Palsy Scotland
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

ING New York City Marathon 2009 · 1 November 2009 ·

We're a charity that improves the lives of children and adults with cerebral palsy through specialist therapy, support and information.

Story

My son Scott who is now 14 years old has celebral palsy as a result of being born 13 weeks early.  Over the last 8 years he has received additional physiotherapy to assist with his development from Bobath Scotland.

As some of you are will be aware I have run a few marathons in the UK before and raised some funds for Bobath in the process.  This year I am lucky enough to have got a place in the New York marathon which has made the last 16 weeks of training a bit easier! The cost of the trip is being funded by myself but I would be grateful for any donations which will assist Bobath to continue to provide assistance to children in Scotland with celebral palsy.  

So I go this Thursday  29 Oct & unfortunately have been allocated a ferry time from Staten Island of 5.30am on Sunday 1 Nov.  So will be a long wait before race starts at 9.40am!  Hopefully you might have time to watch the event on the TV on Sunday afternoon.
