Event: adidas Auckland Marathon 2008

Event Date: 2/11/2008

The Goal: Auckland Marathon (42km)

Why?: The reason is personal. Sometimes during the year I get periods of depression (not the clinical sort!) where I feel aimless, unmotivated and stressed. For me, the marathon represents something that I can strive for if I work hard (the marathon is two days after an exam and two days before another exam!).

It is not simply a race, it represents for me hard work, motivation and drive.

It is the culmination of early 5:30am starts and evening runs where I could be studying or resting.

The marathon tells me that if I try my darn hardest, I will get results. And that is very important to me.

Since I will be running the race I thought it is a great idea to help support and fundraise for a charity too.

The Heart Foundation is a favourite choice of mine. Their apporach is scientific and cost-effective eg.the Heart Foundation Tick programme and targets the root cause of heart disease in New Zealand. So you would be sure that your money would be well used.

So please support me and the Heart Foundation!

To sponsor me, select the "Make a donation" button below. It’s simple, fast and totally secure and the money goes directly to the Heart Foundation’s bank account.

If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

So please help me today! And pass it on to your family and friends!

Many thanks for your support!
