Over the Christmas holidays, one of my sisters persuaded me to join her in doing the X runner water wipeout in the beginning of July. I hate running, and I have never taken part in any kind of marathon, so it took her some persuading.

I decided to do it because I would really like to raise funds for my brother’s school. St Michael’s School is a fantastic catholic school which my youngest brother and sister are currently at. The classroom are in need of repair and any extra fund would be greatly appriciated.
