    Hi everyone, Thank?you all?so much for your support so far.?Only 2 weeks to go - a bit of banter?starting to come through from Austen?as the time gets closer. We are both so stoked to have raised the money to?date and looking forward to aiming for 3000! Both Austen and I have been putting in the hard yards and slowly building the?distances we are running. Having both managed a?19 km run this week the confidence levels are?starting to rise. We have a 10km trial next Sunday....I am going to be pushing?Austen to try and beat?him so its 1 all?prior to the big event the following week. Austen?continues to work hard with his rehab coming to the?physio pool once a week, gym once?a week and working out with Trev (Personal Trainer)?once a week as well. Mark?Shirley Physiotherapist RATA South ?????????????????

    Wow - we have had such great feedback after the ODT ran the front page article of Austen. Where are we at? So far Austen has got himself some new shoes which has sorted out a bit of an issue that we were having when he starts to fatigue. He was starting to clip his feet as the muscles that bring your toes up got tired (a side effect of his spinal cord injury). After the article Austen has had some good pool sessions, a run with Trev and back into the gym next week....with exams coming up its a bit of self imposed rest and starting to get the distances up. We haven't had a run together for a few weeks so we have a 10km planned for next weekend....and I am hoping to keep up this time! Thanks for all the donations to date - we have an aim to get to $5000 so every little bit helps! Thanks Mark Shirley - Physiotherapist
