Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls,
The East Anglia's Childrens Hospices (EACH) is a charity that supports families throughout their experience of caring for children with life-threatening conditions and complex healthcare needs. A charity that aims to ensure that children and their families have access to the very best healthcare and social-care facilities in the last days of a child's life.
Please feel free to visit the site and read about the charity:
Although I haven't been
directly affected by the pain and distress that's associated with the
families and children's lives that EACH helps, I would like to help raise cash/awareness for this amazing charity.
So here are the details about what I'm doing in order to raise the money for the kids!..
I am joining two of my very good friends to
take up the
absolutely ridiculous task of running a whole marathon (26.2 miles / 42.195
km / A very long way). A marathon described as being located
in one of the most dangerous places on Earth... AUSTRIA.
Well known for
its mountainous terrain around the Alps, Austria is famous for holding major luge and bobsled competitions, John Candy and the Jamaican Bobsled team is the most notable of these events. The Vienna
city marathon course is actually one of the flattest and quickest in the
world, Abel Kirui holding the fastest time; finishing in 2 hrs 07 minutes and 38 seconds in April 2008.
I wont be finishing that quickly, but I will be attempting to finish the marathon in a time between 3.5 -
4 hours which it is a feat which I believe can be achieved.
Thank you all for your time, wish me luck.
Mikey
