BOURNEMOUTH AC ROAD AND DISTANCE RUNNING INFORMATION Here is a an article about Matt Kiernan's Marathon fundraising. Click here to go back to our main index page.
Marathon For Water Aid He describes the organisation as "an amazing charity that helps to ensure clean water is available to those in impoverished areas." That's not to be confused with Vittell, who on the day will be ensuring clean water is available to impoverished runners heading West along the embankment thinking running a marathon wasn't such a good idea after all! But any runner who has taken refreshment from a water station in any race may wish to ponder that luxury because that's how some people perceive what we take for granted. The daily slog to find clean water in some areas of the world makes running 26.2 miles in state-of-the-art kit and medical support the size of a small country seem a doddle. Click here for Matt's sponsorship page and to find out more about the charity. Matt, finishing a marathon, even in dire pain, is unlike finishing any other race. Once you've done it, nobody can take it away from you. No matter how hard the training is or how long the race seems to drag, within an hour of finishing you'll think it's flown by. And especially as it's your first, I promise you'll look back on it with a fantastic sense of achievement. |
