William Chong - made this guy run 42km!

Crossing the harbour bridge, 2009 Auckland Marathon

Completing the halfmarathon last year!

Running along Westhaven Marina

Thanks for all your support!

UPDATE: 3/11/09
I finished it! Survived! Thinking about your generosity in helping out Habitat do their work in rebuilding homes in Samoa really gave me the energy to keep running - so I'm really grateful!

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I'm putting my running shoes on again; this time I'm taking on this year's adidas Auckland Marathon. Some of you who have run with me before know I get regularly outrun by 12-year-olds, so I'm getting the training in early to survive all 42 km of it!

I'll do all the hard work; train for and complete this event, but I really need your help to make a difference to Habitat for Humanity. They're a great Christian not-for-profit organisation that are committed to helping build homes for those that can't afford it.

Since 1976 Habitat for Humanity has built, repaired and renovated homes in nearly 100 countries with a new house being completed every 15 minutes. To date they've housed more than 1.5 million people worldwide!

If you feel led to help out, please select the "Make a donation" button below. It's simple, fast and totally secure.

If you live in New Zealand your donation is tax deductible and a receipt will be issued.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support,

William
