Challenge 26 – We did it!!

Challenge 26 – We did it! 

  A big thank you to all who supported us!  

We recruited our runners, we had visits from runners and a personal trainer to give us some tips, we mentally prepared ourselves for the challenge! …….and we knew we were ready!

On the day of the fundraising challenge, whilst Andy was running the marathon, we set ourselves up in Bowling Park, did our warm ups, got our stop watches ready, had the motivational music playing, had our staff ready to clap and cheer….. and we were off!    Each young person (and a few youth workers!)  running one, if not multiple kilometer laps – desperate to beat Andy’s time and more importantly, determined to raise money for emerge!

What an incredible effort our young people put in!  They were amazing!  It was such a positive and inspiring morning, finishing up with team games in the park and a bar-b-que to thank for them efforts.

And the result?  Andy completed the marathon with an awesome marathon time of 3:43:54 and our young people did an inspiring, combined marathon time of 4:25:31.    Well done everybody!

We are so proud of our young people (and Andy!) and would like to thank everyone who took part and also everyone who supported us financially.  If you haven’t had time to donate – there is still a short time left  to support us by clicking the link:  www.justgiving.com/campaign/emergechallenge26
