Knowing I only had 1 in 8 chance of getting picked I promised to myself that if I get picked then no more junk food and nor more booze.
Today I have just found out that I have been selected for the March 2009 Marathon. Therefore I will say goodbye to my beloved Vodka this weekend and start training.
Why is this of interest? My goal as well as attempting not to die of cardiac arrest during the Marathon , Is to raise as much money as possible for the Charity Bulgaria's Abandoned Children
This is where you come in . I will be asking friends and co-workers if they will be willing to pledge any funds if I complete the marathon.
It is shamefull that a European country allowed conditions to get this bad for these kids.
If you want to know more please look at this harrowing video from The BBC. http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=944239315372248151
I appreciate your support no matter how small
