NEW TARGET: 500!
Chris is running a Half Marathon!
As part of my recovery from injury I've decided to take part in the Robin Hood Half Marathon this year in order to raise funds for a small, local charity.
Running for a local charity was important to me because I really felt I could really make a difference promoting the important work Transform does and help raise vital funds for their work in my local area. Much more so than a large national charity.
This is perhaps the toughest half marathon I'll undertake because of the recent injuries that have kept me off running for the best part of 7 months. I hope that as part of my recovery a slow walk / run half marathon will give me the encouragement I need in my recovery program as well as ensuring I stay within my limits and don't run too quickly and injure myself again. I'm aiming for around 2hr30 to 2h45 and so certainly won't be getting a PB.
I'm not looking for big donations, while this is a challenge for me, I realise people are asked to raise money all the time for much bigger challenges. So if you do feel like proving moral support for my efforts then I'm looking for small donations in the region of 2 pounds from as many friends as possible, Every donation will help Transform with the work they do and provide me the encouragement to ensure I get around the course at a steady pace and don't injure myself.
