Why is the Adelaide, City To Bay Fun Run so important?

So some people are commenting I’m a little obsessed with this weekend.

On Sunday I will take the start line with tens-of-thousands.

Everyone has their own story and motivation.

Mine’s simple really.

I’m morbidly obese, I’m working to fix that. In fixing that I badly injured myself which required surgical intervention.

When going through some long and tiring rehab which pushed me to the limit of my abilities mentally and physically I set my goals on a target.

That target was to complete the City To Bay.

I’d managed to motivate people along the way, so I thought what better way to motivate people even more by forming a team.

As we now head into the last week before the race I’ve gone from feeling confident about doing the 6km to being told I wasn’t cleared to now being told you can do it.

I’ve made my decision, one I’ll stand by and it’s going to be really interesting to see my reaction as I cross the physical finish line as in many regards my journey is just beginning.

I’m not doing the race alone, there is a team of people with me, but I’m also fundraising for JDRF.

Work held a massive fund raiser for them earlier in the year and I wasn’t able to contribute in person or financially, plus I have family and some close friends who live with Type 1 diabetes.

Please support me where you can šŸ™‚
