Half pint nails half marathon

October 10th, 2012

Kathryn, pictured above volunteering at the Casa Hogar Luz Alba Orphanage in 2009, ran her first ever half marathon a couple of months ago – and raised over £400 to help us build the orphanage!

She says she still thinks about the children at the orphanage and she is glad that she can do something to help them.

I would like to apologise for some incorrect information given in the initial article about this – Kathryn is actually not 5’3′” but 5’2″, meaning even more steps to complete a half marathon – Well done Kathryn!

10k – All the way!

Well done Becky (centre of photo above)! She took on the Swansea Bay 10k, and the driving rain and howling wind and completed it, raising £255 to help us build the orphanage!

Becky told us that at one point, a particularly strong gust of wind swept her into a fellow runner!

Happily she wasn’t injured and finished the 10k in just over 1 hour.
