Graeme's London Marathon

Graeme

At 50 Graeme is relatively new to running, having started about five years ago as part of an 80km relay run out of Bangkok to raise funds for the Save Hua Hin fund to improve the environment in one of the local towns in Thailand. This led to his first marathon in Bangkok, followed by Auckland and the Motutapu Icebreaker out of Wanaka.

By far his biggest challenge was the Oxfam 100km walk earlier this year which his team took 28 hours 34 mins to complete and in doing so raised $8000.

Short legs are not a runners best asset. Graeme describes himself as a shuffler, but with the ongoing support of his family, he will be using the London marathon to try for a personal best of 3:45. New Zealand has the highest bowel cancer rate in the world but a lot can be done if it is caught early, this alarming fact inspired Graeme's run to support the Cancer Research Charitable Trust.

In completing the London marathon Graeme raised $6637 from over 50 donors towards his chosen charity. Well done and thankyou Graeme!
