Athens Marathon · 13 November 2011

We’re Mind, the mental health charity, working across England & Wales. We believe no one should face a mental health problem alone. We’re here for you. Whether you’re stressed, depressed or in crisis. We’ll listen, give support & advice, & fight your corner. Thanks for fundraising for national Mind.

Story

This is my one and only chance to retrace the steps of the first ever marathon runner Phedippedes in 490BC. The course runs from the town of Marathon to the city of Athens and is mostly uphill. This may explain why at the end of the run he shouted 'We have won' and then collapsed and died.

I hope to be in a position to shout something at the end of the 26.2 miles, whether it is something that can be easily translated will be another matter.

Please do sponsor me. Mind is an excellent charity which does a lot of very important work.

I'll spare you the rest of the Justgiving spiel and let you get on with it.
