Thanks to my buddy « Sidd » and the local trail running club « Passion Trail Dieulefit », I learned how to train for a race – and found out what it’s like to run together!
Would I have dared to engage in running a marathon otherwise? let alone run for a cause?
Marathon prep is a commitment over several months!

In extremis!
I committed to training since january. Except I didn’t have my entry to the race! Registrations had just closed, I’d have to rely on a cancellation. One late evening I found out in my inbox that someone on the lookout had booked a last minute transfer for me! 2 months from the race, less than 2 hours before the official closure I got my entry!!
I immediately organized for the trip. Since there was no official charity for Ukraine in the list, I started the project for Ridna!
Meet you at the starting line in:
Finished line crossed at 4h11mn for my first marathon!!!
MEANWHILE, THERE IS NO FINISH LINE ON THE GROUND FOR UKRAINIAN CIVILIANS! So keep sharing this campaign!
How will my donation be used?
« I often send tourniquets (to stop bleeding). Sometimes, when we have the resources, we can buy prosthetics. It’s important to know that a prosthesis also needs to be replaced over time. In our efforts, we can target people with specific needs. »

PS: I was going to run this marathon anyway, I trained for months even though I didn’t have my entry 🙂 It’s always nice to have a little word from you though!
For Ridna!
