As a number of you will be aware, earlier this year I decided to sign-up for my first marathon. An 18 week training programme began on 19 May and culminates in the Sydney Marathon on Sunday 21 September. The training runs have ranged from 4.8km to 30+km, hopefully setting me up nicely for the 42km main event! As an incentive to keep up the training programme and ensure I don't duck out of the race, I am aiming to raise money for charity. The charity is Midnight Basketball, who, in short, aim to keep disadvantaged youths off of our local streets by running, yep, night time basketball events. Would welcome any contribution, great or small, that you could make! If I hit the fund-raising target, my race entry fee will be refunded and I will also donate this. And if you are able to provide support on the day, that would be fantastic! Many thanks.
