Lucy is running for The Neo Natal Trust, Auckland

Yesterday I ran my first ever 5km race with my very good friend, Gretchen. It was exciting and exhilarating to be part of such a great event. We started from Pt Erin at 10am and I am delighted that I ran the time I was hoping to run - 45mins. I can't say it was easy, I did walk a couple of times, but I am really, really pleased with the result. I am running a 6km race on 19 November so am back into training and hoping to do another good time for that race. Thank you SO MUCH to everyone who has donated, as I was running I was thinking or your very generous donation and I didn't want to let you down. I was also remembering Henry as a 1.2kg baby, in his incubator and those memories kept me going too. Much love Lucyxxx
