GIRLS RULE - CAROLINE @ the LONDON MARATHON

Caroline has just finished the London Marathon 2009 and I am sooooo proud of her.

It's amazing - especially as I know how hard it was the last two weeks with an injury and all the pressure, and not just the physical but also the psychological stress of running her very first London Marathon.

Well done for a VERY respectable time of 4:20:41 to run 26! miles. I thought this deserved a Girls Rule sticker. :-)

If you haven't sponsored her yet, you still can, the link is on the top of the page on the left.

Big Day

After frantic organising and getting everything ready, the day of the jewellery party in aid of the MS Trust has finally come. If you haven't read about it yet - Caroline is running the London Marathon for her sister who has MS.

The jewellery party is to raise much needed funds and ten percent of all the profits will go to the MS Trust.

There will be another jeweler, a physiotherapist, a photographer, and the Cambridge Evening News has promised to cover it.

If you can't make it to the party but would like to sponsor Caroline and the MS Trust - here's the link, or click on the header or the little blue logo at the top of the page on the left hand side, all will take you to Caroline's fund raising page.

Fingers crossed everybody feels generous...

... so wish us all luck!

London Marathon - Sponsor My Friend Caroline

My friend Caroline is running the London Mararthon this year for the MS foundation, but more specifically for her sister who has MS. This means an awful lot to her and she's working hard - both at the fundraising side and the running.

If you can afford to sponsor her - every little bit helps...

Here, once again, in her own words:

After several unsuccessful years of applying to run the London Marathon, I have finally been offered a place! For the past 10 years I have run 5 and 10k' events and half marathons, but 26 miles is a first for me. I have no doubt that this will be quite a challenge. I will be following a strict training and diet programme . . . no wine!!

But I am inspired on two counts. Yes, the thought of running 26 miles, alongside 40,000 runners exhilarates and at the same time terrifies me, but also I am running to raise much needed funds for the MS Trust - a charity which was the first port of contact when my sister, Yass, was first diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.

I hope you will be supportive and above all sponsor me to run the marathon in support of my sister and the MS Trust.

I thank you in advance, and wish you all well.
