Flora London Marathon 2008 · 13 April 2008 ·

Every two hours someone in the UK is paralysed by a spinal cord injury. It can happen to anyone at any time and no one is prepared for how it will change their life. Aspire is a national charity that provides practical help, supporting spinal cord injured people from injury to independence.

Dear all,

As far as fundrasing events go, this was definitely the most painful :) I thoroughly enjoyed the run, however, because the atmosphere was tremendous. Considering the ups and downs of the journey towards this event, I am pleased with the time of 3hrs 54min (Sully, cough up!). My tactic was to take it easy, but i still suffered in the end.. :)

A huge thanks to Nello at www.enjoytherun.com for his support of myself and other Maltese athletes running for charity. A big thank you to all of you who donated to the charities or supported in other ways.

This website will stay open and we hope to raise some more funds. I'm planing an olympic distance triathlon on the 3th of May and I am already thinking about a challenge for next year. The point? Well it seems that the 'effort for donations' model is working, so let's keep raising funds for these charities!

However; in the meantime, please fish out your creditcard and help those at Aspire (UK) and Razzett tal-Hbiberija (Malta) who help disabled people run their own marathons, every day.

Thank you!

Nathan

Sponsoring couldn't be simpler or more effective. If you are a UK taxpayer your gift-aid will give these charities an extra 28% at no cost to you. Although funds will be routed through Aspire UK, the funds will be divided equally between the two charities. See www.aspire.org.uk and www.razzett.org for more info on how you're helping.
