Story

We did it!

I know that you’ll be as surprised as I am but my friend John and I actually managed to complete a Marathon.  My body feels like it has been involved in a plane crash but it was worth it!  The atmosphere in Bordeaux for the Marathon Du Medoc was sensational, we met some fantastic people and sampled some fine wines before finishing the course in 4hrs 55mins.

The high point was the feeling of satisfaction and relief as we crossed the line, the low point was being overtaken at 40km by a runner pushing a full wine barrel!

I have been blown away by the support I’ve received.  Thank you to everyone who generously donated to the Sick Kids Friends Foundation, this is a fantastic cause.
