Hi,

Welcome to my fundraising web page. I am so happy you’ve decided to check it out.

On April 22, 2007 I am going to run the FLORA London Marathon.  Perhaps the longest and the most challenging 26.2 miles in my life, but allow me to go just two years back. When I first started running everything looked like a joke. I would go out, ran for a couple of minutes, decided it was boring and too hard and went home. Then my brother finished his first half marathon, Harris Direct, Seattle Half Marathon.  I started thinking about doing the same. If he can do it, I can do it too. I learned a valuable lesson, there is nothing others can do that I (you) cannot do as well. Since that time I have run number of half marathons. I ran with my husband, my brother, my sister in law and my best friends. There is nothing I would trade those days for. I learned another important  lesson, share your challenges, your laughs, pain and tears with your loved ones. And finally, I would like to share with you the most important lesson I’ve learned, help others if and wherever and whenever you can. Every race I have run was for a good cause. Proceeds always go to charities that do an incredible job of helping those less fortunate than we are.

In April I will be running for NCH, the children’s charity that helps children achieve their full potential. Through its services NCH supports some of the most vulnerable and excluded children. If you would like to learn more about NCH and a great work they do please go to www.nch.org.uk, the official web site of the NCH, and read more about the services they provide.

NCH guarantees my Gold Bond place in the FLORA London Marathon. As a thank you, I would like to help NCH raise money for children with disabilities, children with no families and no homes, those children whose childhood is far from being happy. Please consider supporting me by making a donation that will go directly to NCH. Donating through this site is simple and secure.

Many thanks for your support.

Dobro dosli na moju stranicu. Jako se radujem sto ste odlucili da je pogledate.

22 aprila 2007 godine trcat cu Flora London Maraton, vjerovatno najduza 42 kilometra u mom zivotu.  Prije detalja o Londonskom maratonu voljela bih da podijelim sa vama  pricu o tome kako sam pocela trcati. A bilo je to prije nekih dvije godine, ne duze. Moji prvi izlasci na stazu su bili prilicno traljavi. Izasla bih, trcala par minuta, odlucila da je trcanje dosadno i tesko  i vratila se kuci. Onda je moj brat zavrsio njegov prvi  “half marathon”.  Pocela sam razmisljati da I ja probam isto. Ako on moze, mogu I ja. Tako sam naucila vaznu lekciju,  nema nista sto drugi mogu uraditi a da ja ne mogu to isto. Od tog vremena trcim bez prestanka. Trcim sa Draganom, mojim bratom, Lidijom I mojim dragim prijateljima, maratoncima. Ne postoji nista za sto bih zamijenila te trenutke. Naucila sam jos jednu vrijednu lekciju, podijeli svoje izazove, smijeh, bol i tugu sa svojim najdrazim. I na kraju, voljela bih da sa vama podijelim jos nesto vrlo vazno sto me motivise da idem dalje, a to je da treba pomoci drugima ako se moze, kad god se moze i gdje god se moze. Svaka trka koju sam trcala do sada je bila organizovana u ime jedne ili vise humanitarnih  organizacija koje pomazu onima koje je zivot na ovaj ili onaj nacin tesko “pogodio”.

U aprilu cu trcati za NCH, humanitarnu organizaciju koja brine o zapostavljenoj djeci, djeci bez roditelja, djeci bez buducnosti. Ako zelite da saznate vise o  uspjesima ove organizacije posjetite njihovu web stranicu www.nch.org.uk.

NCH meni garantira ucesce na Flora London Maratonu. U znak zahvalnosti voljela bih da pomognem NCH skupiti novac  za nesretnu djecu sa ozbiljnim zdravstvenim problemima, djecu bez porodice I doma, djecu cije djetinjstvo je daleko od toga da bude sretno.

Ovim pute vas molim da mi se pridruzite u prikupljanju priloga koji ide direktno na racun NCH. Doniranje novca preko ove web stranice je jednostavno I sigurno.

Unaprijed hvala na prilogu.
