Running my first full marathon to raise money on behalf of friends in need.
Auckland
At the start of this year, some friends received unfortunate news. After having health problems, they were told my friends partner had stage 4 colon cancer, which spread to his liver. The news came after they found out they were pregnant with their first child.
I'm involved because this particular friend (who is also my running partner) has raised money for numerous charities in the years I've known her. It's time to give something back.
I'm embarking on my first full marathon (without her there to encourage me on - she will be missed!), in order to raise money for the Cancer Society, who have been a really big help for them.
For those interested, it's the Rotorua Marathon on May 2nd. I've got the page open for a week afterwards to get any last minute donations.
