Alisha Russell's involvement (page creator)
I initially signed up for the full marathon but now due to injury I have decided I will run the half-marathon instead so I can give myself some time to rest and recover. So far I have been super disciplined in my marathon training and have managed personal bests for speed and distance. I'm disappointed to be changing to the half but I know it is the right thing to do to avoid any further injury.

Half way point! 12 December 2014
Officially at halfway point and still going strong - I ran 21.5km last Saturday and it was great!
Have had some moments where I just really don't want to run but I'm proud to say I have only missed one short run because motivation was lacking - I know any more than this and it will only be me who suffers on the day.
It helps knowing that people have shown their belief in me by donating, running for charity helps me to keep it up because I know it's not only myself I will be letting down if I don't stay focused.
Thank you very much to those who have donated, I'm really overwhelmed by everyones generosity and support.
