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. |  |

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. [Post edited 22 Sep 14:05]

Done.
Not sure about the whole cats thing, and I'm pretty sure they will be my bosses at some stage soon, but I took a chance anyway.
Best of luck Michelle, and agree completely about John's great book being an inspiration.
I've used it as positive fuel for myself and many friends down the years. [Post edited 22 Sep 20:42]
