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

As many of you will know, I am not a natural runner. About four years ago I decided to try and run a half marathon and managed to do the Auckland event in a very slow time. I have done a few further half marathons over the year, each one getting progressively slower!

After hearing Kerre Woodham speak at the Food and Grocery Council conference in Queenstown in 2008, I was inspired to try and complete a full marathon. I quickly worked out that I could only ever do one in my life and if I was going to do one it had to be New York.

At the same conference a year later in the Gold Coast, I got an opportunity to get a spot in the 2010 New York Marathon, running for a charity called CatWalk. After meeting Catriona Williams and the CatWalk team, I was truly inspired and decided to take up that opportunity and try and raise money for what is an exceptional cause. Catriona is an amazing lady and her passion and energy puts us all to shame.

After committing to doing this years event, I also quickly worked out that I needed help. I got hold of Gaz Brown from getrunning.co.nz , who was Kerre Woodham’s trainer. He took one look at me and said “you have to lose some weight mate” and promptly sent me off to a nutritionist. I have now been training with Gaz for most of this year and the goal of New York is rapidly approaching. With the help of an extended team including, nutritionist, massage therapist and physiotherapist, I have just run the Lake Taupo Half Marathon 16 minutes quicker than my previous best time. I really now feel that I can complete the Marathon in New York and not completely embarrass myself.

The opportunity to fulfil a dream, but also raising money for a charity as worthy as CatWalk is really a win-win situation. I urge you to support my sponsorship and help me raise money for this amazing charity.
