EVENT: CatWalk's New York Marathon 2010
EVENT DATE: 07/11/2010

Hi

My name is Anna Petro. I am a mum of two gorgeous boys Oscar and George and married to my scrummy husband Ben.

I am not natural runner, in fact it would be fair to say that in the last 4 years I have done little in terms of exercise, except walking to get my morning coffee! Running is something that usually I would not do by choice, however here I am training for one of the biggest Marathons in the World! Crazy, but very exciting. I have to admit, it would look great ticked off my "Bucket List" when I complete the marathon!

I had my youngest boy, George, six months ago, so running so far has been slow, but I am really starting to enjoy it.... again something I never thought I would hear myself say.

I have chosen to run for the CatWalk Trust in New York for three reasons, firstly, I think its a wonderful charity raising money for a worthy cause. Secondly the founder of the CatWalk Trust is my sister in Law, Catriona Williams. To date I have not been in a situation to contribute to the CatWalk Trust, so when the opportunity of running in the New York Marathon for charity came my way I jumped at it. I am very proud of what Catriona has achieved to date for the CatWalk Trust, and to run along side her in New York well be a privilege, and I cant wait to see her when we both finish. Finally my last reason is.... NEW YORK people...... all that shopping! I mean there is an incentive in itself.

Thank you for reading my profile and supporting me on my journey to New York. Now be a good sport and please donate a little money towards The CatWalk Trust. All your support is greatly appreciated.

The CatWalk Spinal Cord Injury Trust is sending a team to participate in the 2010 New York Marathon which kicks off in New York on 7th November 2010 and I'm ONE OF THE TEAM!

This premier event, the ING New York Marathon is one of the worlds great road races, drawing more than 100,000 applicants. The race attracts many world-class professional athletes, not only for the more than $600,000 in prize money, but also for the chance to excel in the media capital of the world before more than two million cheering spectators and 315 million worldwide television viewers.

Any of the more than 700,000 past participants will attest, crossing the finish line in Central Park is one of the great thrills of a lifetime.
Support me in my madness - you've got to be mad in order to agree to something like this right!...And in turn you'll be supporting CatWalk!

Everyday the CatWalk team are working together to fulfil their goal to help people living with spinal cord injuries get out of their wheelchairs and back on their feet - this is our opportunity to get behind them.

By supporting the CatWalk 2010 New York Marathon team you'll be supporting the steps needed to make it possible!

All funds raised will go towards spinal cord injury research and changing the future that will improve the quality of life for those affected by spinal cord injury.

Get Black On Your Feet with CatWalk!
