New York Marathon 12:05 - Sep 21 with 896 viewsSuperhoops2808

Hi everyone

Yes, its one of those posts

Mrs Superhoops2808 is running her 4th World Major Marathon in NYC on the 1st November 2026. She has already completed London, Berlin & Chicago. She is now at the halfway point and as she ran her first one for charity, she decided to raise money again.

The first is the Ellenor Hospice based in Kent. They took care of her Mum at her end of life and do amazing work with patients both at home and within the hospice itself. As we know all too well sadly Cancer affects a great number of people

The second is a Cat Rescue, Pussycat Lodge based in Essex. They are in the process of trying to raise 500k towards new premises. And let’s be honest who doesn’t love cats (apart from Nathan Jones – IYKYK 😉) We adopted 4 of our 7 cats from there and they do a much needed job of rehoming cats.

Anyway, this is the link to her page that tells the story way better than I can and any donations would be fab during these tough times. And even if you don’t wish to donate, please feel free to follow her journey.

Lastly thanks to Clive for allowing me to post this and John (PlanetHonneywood) whose book continues to be an amazing inspiration for her.

Thanks for reading.

P.S: As discussed Clive, would be great if you could pin for a while please

My youngest Lad done the NYC marathon, he said that on the day of the marathon the locals were very friendly and encouraging.

My Father had a profound influence on me, he was a lunatic.

Good luck to your Mrs, Superhoops2808.

Have donated.


Thats a really fantastic thing for your wife to be involved with. A friend a few years ago, sadly ended up in a hospice at way too young an age to be in one. The staff were outstanding. What a job they do and their help is massively underrated. Special people definitely.

And the cat rescue is another great cause. My partner has had a couple of cats, one which i knew. Sadly both were run over at young ages, so she wont have any now, but cats are by far the superior beings compared to us idiot humans.

Was a regular road runner in my 20s and early 30s. Did a lot of half marathons and 10k races back then too. Only one marathon in 1996 at London. Did ok, but paled into insignificance with regards to my dad. He did six from the age of 56 to 62.


Pass on my best to your Mrs and hope all goes well on the day.

Thanks Numpty

The staff at the hospice are immense - no other words really for them

And the cat rescue has been up against it since they have needed to look for new premises. So many hoops to jump through just for a bloody cat rescue premises.

This is her 6th marathon - Did virtual London during covid and Manchester but they dont count towards her stars.

I went to Richmond Park with her on Saturday and cycled as she ran. She looks and says she feels in good nick so hopefully all will go well after her injury at the start of the year. Personally dunno how anyone does it. Most I managed was half marathons at the ripe old age of 21
