Update Number One
7 October 2026
There is less than ten days to go until the big day. Thank you to all of you who have supported me so generously. I am delighted to report that $751 has been raised so far!!
My training is going well and I managed 28 minutes 8 seconds running 7km a few days ago. I have set myself targets and will make a donation on the day depending on my finishing time for the 8km: Under 36 minutes (should be easy, even if it is windy) - $25, Under 34 minutes (should be comfortably achievable, maybe a challenge if windy) - $50, Under 32 minutes which is 15km/h (a challenge, but I believe it is achievable if there is not much wind) - $75. I was just 9 seconds short of this pace in my last run.
Once again, thank you so much for your donations and support. I greatly appreciate it! God bless you.
