Chch Half Marathon - Raising funds for the Chch City Mission

I just realised that it's 7 days before I run a half marathon - it'll be only the 2nd race I've ever run and about a year since I started running. I've been focused on the goal and realised there are others who don't have the privilege I have to run for leisure or health...let's see if we can put a few dollars together for the City Mission.

I am a huge fan of what the Mission do - anyone living in Chch knows that the problem with homelessness is getting worse - these people do an amazing job to not just clothe, feed and home some of our most vulnerable but also proved wrap around support to keep people well and healthy.

Let's turn some of the warm fuzzies we have towards charity into cold hard cash - a half marathon is 21.1kms - if we can raise a dollar for every 100 metres I run ($211) then that'd be an awesome result - if we can raise a dollar for every 10 metres ($2110) I'd be ecstatic.

My aim is to complete the Chch Half in less than 2:30hrs - I think that's doable without me vomiting in the Avon river.
