Cardiff Marathon 2011

Our runners are getting ready for the Cardiff Half Marathon this Sunday, 16th October and we wish them well.  We pray the weather will be kind (as for the past 2 years).   Hubbie, Wayne (seen here after last year's event) has been laid low for a few weeks with a chest infection but is recovering with lots of prayer and a home remedy of honey, lemon and ginger made up by me!  His nephew, Eifion from the Rhondda (seen below), who ran for us last year is well trained up for the event. 

Sadly we have lost a few of our runners and so our financial support is reduced.  Our friend, Chris Rees  was sadly injured in a car accident a few weeks ago and we pray for his speedy recovery.  Another new runner, Phillip Williams has suffered a knee injury -  Phil we hope you can join us next year.  Our good friend, Gary sadly lost his dad and the funeral will be tomorrow - our condolences to all the family.  We pray that his good friend, Samuel from Preston will still be able to join us for the first time.  

With a few runners down we are desperate for financial support for this event so if anyone would like to make a donation then please contact me with your full name, address and post code and let me know whether you are in a position to "Gift Aid" your donation which will enhance your giving by 28 pence in the pound, with no cost to yourself.  Cheques should be payable to "Reaching Romania".
