Thanks very much to Dave Hodgson for your generous donation and to Wendy - the best physio in the world, because without your magical hands, I would not be running!
It has been a month since I ran/walked Comrades and I am eager to get back on the road for my next challenge, but need to sort this ankle out :-(

Once again a huge thanks to one and all for your donations - we are making a difference with the fund raising for The Zach Foundation.

As for my next challenge - watch this space. xx

So Comrades has come and gone and apart from a few niggles, I am feeling good and the legs are fine.
Thanks to Mary's friend Emilie for your donation - it is very kind of you. My page is open so to all of you who said you would donate ONLY if I finished , put your money where your mouth is .....please.
It is such a worthy cause and I am not stopping from creating awareness for TZF - on the 13th June, I go for an interview with the CHOC Foundation to be a volunteer, they only need a few hours a week of your time, so if you feel up to it give them a call.
Have a wonderful week everyone and watch this space - I might just get back on my bicycle and cycle 94.7km in November!!

Thanks so much Jody for your donation, it is greatly appreciated.
What a day - with a chilly start, the wind picked up and was blowing really hard, but I made it and did not let myself down or my charity.
I was so happy to get to the stadium, it was so emotional for me and I can honestly say finishing my 13th Comrades in honor of Zach and The Zach Foundation is one of the happiest and best days of my life!
Thank you everyone your support of this charity you are all stars in my world.

Thank you Pat Cawood - I have raised R10000.00 woo hoo. Thank you, thank you everyone.
Off to Pietermaritzburg now for a quiet afternoon, with my feet up and watching rugby...Go Sharks.
I will be getting up at about 4am and off to the start at 4.30am........Ke Nako, the time is now - thank you to all my family, friends, club mates and to The Zach Foundation for your support this year, it means so much to me.
This one is for Zach :-)

THANK YOU SO MUCH

WOW I am nearly at R10000.00 - thank you so much to Ed, Ashleigh, Casper, and Jack Harris for your generous donations yesterday. Also a big thanks to my children and sister Mary for creating awareness of The Zach Foundation in the UK - you are my world!

Just over two days to go and I have raised R8560, thanks so much to Sharon, Carmen & Mike, Sheila, Barbara, Michelle and Grant for my latest donations - and not forgetting everyone else who has donated you all are absolutely awesome.

Shooo 5 days and counting down to the 3rd June - scary thought!
Thanks to Non and Sylvia for my latest donations - how I would love to hit R10000.00 before the big day.
Cancer can afflict anyone and we need funds so desperately in South Africa for paediatric cancer research - please make a donation, no matter how small or big, every cent counts and I know that the guys and gals of The Zach Foundation are so appreciative already of the amounts we have raised so far.
Sacrifice a beer or two or a bottle of wine or even a coffee and donate to my cause.
Thanks again to everyone who has donated so far.
Chat soon

Nearly at R5000.00 and R25000 to go - praying that I reach my target. Yes I know some of you ahve said you will only sponsor me if I finish the race - well yes it is aboutfinishing the race which is very important to me - but raising money for The Zach Foundation andPaediatric Cancer Research, is so important to me.
DID YOU KNOW -
1. The US Spends 144 times more than South Africa on cancer research.
2. Australia spends 22 times more on research than South Africa and they have half the population we have in SA.
3. In 1998-2000 10 cancer research consortiums were assembled in SA of which only three remain.
The above facts are from stats taken in 2006 - 6-7 years out of date.

Please find it in your hearts to make a donation every cent counts.
Thanks

Hit the R4000.00 mark yesterday, thanks Sheils and Shawn for your generous donations, they are greatly appreciated and of course everyone else who has donated - you are superstars!!
My target is R30000.00 by the end of June and yes it is ambitious, but come on guys and girls, please donate, if all my Facebook friends made a donation, I would just about be at my target.
The paediatric cancer research is the first of it's kind in SA, and they need funds urgently.
Please...........
18 days to go and the last few weeks of training have been good and my ankle is holding up yay..........

So I managed to run about 45kms of the long run which took me about 5hrs 30 - it was pretty hot on Sunday and I am pleased I got that far, without experiencing too much pain in my ankle. Thanks to all the seconds who provided refreshments along the route it was greatly appreciated.
Four weeks to go - so let's get the donations rolling in......please.

Three days and have raised nearly R2000 - what a great feeling.....thanks to all who have already donated, it is greatly appreciated :-)
This weekend sees the long club run on Sunday 29th April, of which I am going to run part of. Traditionally all runners doing Comrades run a last long run of +- 60kms, five to six weeks before race day and then we start tapering so we are fresh and ready for the big day.
Have a great Freedom day tomorrow and Worker's Day on Tuesday 1st May - enjoy the long weekend and if out and about be safe.

Thanks very much to Penni, Roy and Shirley for kick starting my fund raising for The Zach Foundation - a charity very close to my heart :-)
The last month been a bit of a struggle due to me injuring my ankle...... I am now back on the road - yay. This weekend is the Pirates Long Club Run which will be my last long run before Comrades and I am holding thumbs my ankle will be fine.
