Herald heroes

I’ve created a fundraising page for my City to Surf race.  It’s for breast cancer research. I want to run run this race in memory of my mother who died from breast cancer in 1987.

My fundraising page is called Run for Grace.

City to Surf

I’ve just had my application for a SH1 start to the City to Surf approved.

I have had many, many dreams that I am running in this race again. I never, ever believed I would run it again in my life. 1985 was the last time. I blew up on heart break hill and missed my PB my 2 seconds.

48.52 was my best in 1984.

24 years!  This will be my seventh time in this iconic race.  

I have only 59 days to make this dream come true.

Can I believe it? The realisation is starting to sink in and what this race will mean to me.

Fight hard enough and dreams become reality

I wrote on this blog in March this year.

“I often have running dreams. Of competing in the City to Surf fun run. I wake up and it is only a dream! I do miss running.”

Look how far I come towards my dream. One running dream the Bridge Run come true.

I WILL run in the City to Surf again. And I will not wake up to find it was a dream.

You’re a fighter Quinkin. All the hard work, all the pain, all the frustration, you deserve this as your reward.

Go hard, never give up. I’m going to send this nightmare of knee pain to hell where it belongs.
