I'm running the Melbourne Marathon on Sunday 13th October 2013. I'm running in memory of my friends Ian Noble and Esohe Omoregie.
Within six months in 2010 and 2011, I lost two friends. Two fantastic people were killed in road accidents that weren't their fault. Two young doctors on their way home from work.
I don't think I'll ever quite be able to find the right combination of words to convey how much they meant to me and how much I miss them both. So I've taken the actions-speak-louder-than-words approach...
I decided to raise money in their memory, by taking on a challenge that went the extra mile... or 26!!! Running a marathon has been on my lifetime "to do" list and there seemed to better time or reason to do it.
I'd be hugely grateful for whatever you can donate in order to help the memories of Ian and Essie live on through important causes.
I had to set up separate pages for each cause as the website does not allow me to set up one. I'd really appreciate it if you could take the extra few moments to split your chosen donation equally between the two pages. I have set a target of $500 (just under £300) for each page. All donations would be massively appreciated, whether they're AUD, GBP, EUR or whatever currency you use in your exotic location!
If you happen to be lucky enough to reside in the world's most liveable city, any support on the day would also be wonderful! I'm determined to make it to the majestic MCG in one piece!
