As you all know we have had some extra special motivation, WEN PEI, in getting us through our training and ready for the big race which is now only 17 short days away!
The reason we run ...
Meet William ...
Our beautiful, "smiles with his whole head", energetic and healthy little boy was born in April this year.
He loves to bounce (non-stop, all day if we let him, its exhausting, I don't need to do weights at the gym anymore!), has blue eyes for now, likes his veges but would rather have fruit if given the choice, blows adorable slobbery raspberries, is just learning to sit up on his own and is growing up so fast. Too fast!
We have loved every single second of having this little man in our lives and feel very blessed.
We don't take any of it for granted. We know that many parents are unfortunately not as lucky as we have been.
That is why we have chosen to (finally!) do the marathon we (correction - I) have been banging on about for the last 6 years and we are doing it for a REASON, well 2 actually.
SIDS and Kids Australia
The Children's Cancer Foundation of Singapore
This organisation is especially close to our hearts thanks to the incredible support they gave to friends of ours in Singapore, Edmund and Peng Eng, throughout the treatment and recovery of their daughter, Wen Pei, read her story here.
If you would like to help support either or both of these fabulous organisations you can do so by sponsoring Andrew and I to run our FIRST EVER MARATHON!
You can sponsor us for km's completed (hopefully all 42.194 of them!) or simply make a donation.
Both of these organisations do fabulous work in the community and rely solely on donations to do so, every little bit helps!
