Thank you to everyone that has donated so far and the site is live for another month so hopefully the donations keep coming. I am going to have a couple of days doing nothing but eating and sleeping.

    Fourth day was a bit challenging as i ran an undulating course and smashed my head on a tree. Never mind though as it was a great feeling at the finish knowing i only have one more to do. Wooooohooooo!!!

    I have had lots of Forrest Gump moments in my life but today was the real thing. Surrounded by friends and family was totally energising and i loved every minute of it.

    Well thats the easy one done, and they will only get harder from now on. Had some great support on the run and at the finish which was very energising for me. Thankyou again to everyone who has made a donation, it is extremely heart warming. I might be crawling on the fifth run but i will not let you down.

    42 today so bloody warm in Western Australia. 24hrs of traveling and a day to get all my gear ready for the first of five runs. Apparently the weather at home in NZ is a bit different and not as warm!!!!!

  • 9 days to go

      11 December 2019

    Only 9 days to go until my first Marathon. I just wanted to say thankyou to everyone who has donated so far, i think you are all legends.

    I am currently on site in Western Australia and getting in my last few training runs at night when the temperature dips under 40.

    I can't wait to get the first run out of the way.
