Event: adidas Auckland Marathon 2006
Event Date: 29/10/2006

Well I did it.What a goal..the feeling of running down the finishing straight with crowd cheering was unbelievable. (Check out my time #5550 at aucklandmarathon.co.nz)
Last May I could, at a push, run for 10mins. Have a look at that time.. nearly two & a half hours for 21km amazing. The training programme is great..& I did the whole programme at home on a treadmill.. this was my first run on the road..it can be done. I had plenty left in my ticker.. just my legs were really struggling. At 55 if I can start from nothing.. anyone can do this. The whole organisation of the event is great.. nothing is left to chance. Next year.. maybe the whole marathon (the legs say no way.. the head say go for it!)

I’ve signed up as a Heart Racer to raise money to support The National Heart Foundation of New Zealand. By donating through my webpage you will be helping the Heart Foundation continue its vital work in research, cardiac rehabilitation, education programmes and resources.

I’ll do all the hard work (train for and complete the event), but I really need you to make a difference to the hearts of New Zealanders.

So, please could you 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 everyone you know!

Sponsor me at $1.00 per km..Half a marathon is 21.1km.. lets just make it $20 if I finish!

Many thanks for your support
