Sometimes life changing events need to be life changing and not just words. Been advised I shouldn't do but others worse off than me.

Canterbury

7 years ago I almost died from a rare illness. At the time I said my perspective in life was changing but turned out to be just words. Nothing has really changed. I still eat and drink what I want do very little exercise and sit on the couch watching telly most nights.

I have did something that I should have done years ago but have been advised not to do. But sod it I am still going ahead with it. I have entered City to Surf in Sydney - Sunday 13th August. This is only 14k but to me this will be massive.

My illness has had a long lasting effect on my bones and blood pressure which is the big concern......

I know this is not going to be easy but there are so many people in a much worse space than I am. No matter if I run 14k or walk 14k I will do it.
