Algarve Marathon

Post by natking »

I'm kicking off my holiday in October by running the Algarve Marathon to raise awareness (and hopefully a few euros) for Crohn's & Colitis UK. Click on the link to see how you can support me.

Many thanks

Hi Angus,
I have happily donated to this cause as my daughter has Crohn's. Good luck in your challenge.

That's very kind, many thanks LJ. There is a Facebook page for the Edinburgh Crohn's & Colitis Group and probably one for your area too.

After the event I'll let you know how I got on. if you are in Algarve in October you could come and watch the race :)

Thanks again

Angus

Angus, I decided to put my money where my mouth is and it is BLOODY AGONY putting coins near metal fillings, but hey ho!

Good luck with the marathon for a very worthy worthwhile cause! During the run, give it some beef, Angus!

Cheers - James :wink:

Nice one James - very kind. Gave it some BEEF on 21 mile run from Edinburgh to North Berwick yesterday. Legs now seizing up on train from Edinburgh to London. Can almost taste the post marathon Sagres.
