Great Edinburgh Run: 6th May 2007
The 10km Great Edinburgh Run 2007 started and finished in the Meadows and the route was around Edinburgh City Centre and Holyrood Park.
The run was held on my 28th birthday and my time was 57 minutes and 28 seconds

I am very grateful who sponsored me in 2006 and I do not expect the same response as I got last year, but I am grateful for all donations.
I am hoping to run in the London Marathon in April 2008 for MS Society.

I received the Bronze Award in the Multiple Sclerosis Society MS Champions Club on 24th July 2007.
This was for the money raised for the Great North Run 2007 that YOU donated!
So the award is as much yours as mine. Cheers!
