    Thanks to everyone for all the support and donations - I completed the marathon yesterday with no major injuries and a time of 6 hours! There were plenty of hills, lots of mud, and some absolutely amazing scenery, and I was so proud to represent the NZORD for the event and help raise awareness for the work they do. This page will close at midnight tonight, so if there were any last minute donations after seeing my efforts please donate quick!

    There's only four days left of fundraising (at the time of writing this, there's three days, 20 hours and 22 minutes until the start of the marathon!!) so THANK YOU to everyone for the donations.

    I've now run over 400k in total training for this event, and have had wonderful support from a heck of a lot of people! A massive thanks to Keegan at Rehab Physio, Palmerston North for helping with my niggly knees; Kate at Lush Lashes, Palmerston North for sponsorship of Team Britt t-shirts; to my mum Karen, dad Grant, grandfather Ron, and sister Nikita for pledging to walk the 10k event, my partner Olly and best bud Ainsille for running the 10k event - you guys are just as nuts as I am and I'm really grateful for the support!

    Thank you to all the donors, on behalf of the NZORD we are really appreciative of your support for the Rare Disorder community :)

    Wow! Thank you all for the support so far, it has been fantastic!

    There are now 17 days until the marathon, and I have run a total of close to 320km in training since I first signed up. I've completed three organised events now, and have bee able to share the great work that NZORD do with so many people already.

    I have also personally pledged to donate per km that I have trained, and over the next 17 days will be completing another 5 runs over 15k distance. This weekend will be a training run of the marathon course in Kinloch, making sure I am prepared for the event.

    So once again, thank you for your donations - myself, Collette and the team at NZORD are really grateful!
