Kathryn runs the marathon - a message from her...
Fri 24 Aug '07 by Scott
This idea was actually hatched at our Louisiana gig on 23rd Sep 2006, when I drunkenly exaggerated my new found running abilities (sporadic jogging) & goals (made them up) to a mate there! Never do that.
However, this conversation planted a seed, and it has now become a fast approaching reality.. On Sunday September 9th I am going to be running my first (only?) half marathon in Bristol, with my mate Guy Radcliffe by my side (or carrying me – he doesn’t know that yet).
I am running in memory of our fantastic bandmate & beautiful friend, Mr Tim Morris, and to try to raise a bit more money for Medecins Sans Frontieres.
I’ve run for a bus before (once), and I’m quite good at racing to the bar for last orders, however the idea of running 13miles fills me with terror. I’m hoping the adrenalin from this terror will help me get to the finish line. The training is still sporadic, but eating the carbs is going very well.
For more information about where the money will be going, and if anyone is able to support me/the cause, please go to www.justgiving.com/kathrynsmith. Guy’s page (in memory of his dad, for cancer research) is at www.justgiving.com/guyradcliffe.
THANK-YOU FOR READING THIS AND FOR ANY SUPPORT POSSIBLE XX
