This year Paris is coming straight off the back of both Boston (20/4) and London (26/4) marathons.
It is a superb event and I am really looking forward to it though I just hope I will have recovered enough!
What do I love about this event?
1. being part of a team (the one I run in and the bigger Run2 family), the journey we share, the stories that unfold, getting through the tough times and reaching our goal in Paris.
2. knowing that the fundraising I do reaches good causes who go on to help others as a result (the charities also put together epic checkpoints)
3. and the route... the stages and camps are really quite spectacular. to be honest, i've always run my legs solo but this year, I will run at least one with another member of my team and or another team.
What am I asking for?
- your help in raising money for 2 amazing charities: Regain Sports Charity and Parkinson's UK.
Regain helps those who have lost the use of their limbs and need help to perform many of the most mundane day-to-day tasks.
Parkinson's UK provide support to make life with Parkinson's better, today; campaigning for better health and care services, funding research into treatments and looking for a cure and, building and educating communities to better support those who suffer.
- and also some time off after two epic weeks racing one marathon, pacing in a second and then relaying with my team on our way to Paris.
Come on, that's got to be worth some sponsorship money!
