Story

Last year, my very good friend Susanne was diagnosed with breast cancer. A real shock for all of us. Why? How is this possible? Despite these horrible, horrible news, we stuck together and I cannot tell you how proud I am of Susanne. She has been incredibly positive, a real fighter and at the same time, was always there for us, consoling us and helping us to deal with her just normally, as we did before. Her behaviour and her courage inspired me to do something. I am running the London Marathon for her and for all the people out there that need to find the energy, day after day, to fight this terrrible disease. I am not expecting this to be easy but I also want to invest my energy and my tenacity in a useful cause. Susanne has really inspired me and I am just so, so proud of her! Therefore, please sponsor me! Thank you!

In 2007 erhielten wir die erschreckende Nachricht: unsere liebe Freundin Susanne war mit Brustkrebs diagnostiziert. Fragen ueber Fragen, Unsicherheiten, damit umzugehen. Wir waren geschockt und erst einmal hilflos. Aber Susanne war von Anfang an unglaublich positiv. Sie hat uns getroestet, uns Mut gemacht und uns davon ueberzeugt, dass sie bereit ist, den Kampf aufzunehmen. Ihr Verhalten und die Gespraeche, die wir gefuehrt haben, haben mich inspiriert, etwas zu tun. In 2009 laufe ich den London Marathon, in erster Linie fuer Susanne und fuer alle diejenigen, die jeden Tag aufs neue die Energie aufbringen muessen, diese Krankheit zu bekaempfen. Ich bin so stolz auf Susanne und wie sie diese Krankheit bisher gemeistert hat und sich nie aufgegeben hat. Auch ich werde die Energie und Disziplin fuer das noetige Training aufbringen muessen um den Marathon zu schaffen, aber auch ich werde nicht aufgeben. Bitte unterstuetzt mich mit einer Spende! Vielen Dank!
