Marathon

Began the 9th week of my training for October 31st's Dublin Marathon with a three-hour run, approximately 20 miles. Went well but was glad of a massage aterwards. I'm running for a purpose. Next April I'm one of a small team that aims to drive a couple of ambulances from Southampton to Bolgatanga in the north of Ghana. This will mean driving through France, Spain, Morocco, Western Sahara, Mauritania, Senegal, Mali, Burkina Faso and Ghana. We expect it to take three weeks. We'll pay our own costs but we need to raise money for the ambulances themselves and everything else including fuel to get us there. Please donate if you can, however small. There are hardly any doctors in the area and the number of people who turn up dead on arrival at the hospital because they had no ambulance to bring them is unnacceptably high.

Thanks.
