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 š
