<p><span style="color: #3366ff;">On Saturday 9th June I have taken the challenge to run my first ever marathon. And to make this just a bit harder, I'm running it in Sierra Leone.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">The training started in December, and over the next few months until race day, I'll be running 4 or 5 times a week to ensure that I am fit and ready for running non-stop for 26.2 miles. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">This challenge is all in aid of Street Child of Sierra Leone. A very worthwhile charity and I suggest you take a look at their website to see what amazing work they do.</span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">All donations will be gratefully recieved and much needed. </span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">You can follow my training on twitter! @kilnsamruns</span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">Thanks so much!</span></p> <p><span style="color: #3366ff;">Sam </span></p>
