    Team Bulldog Melbourne Marathon.

    Hi All,

    I'm not sure if this is in the right spot, or even allowed! - (Mods feel free to do with as you please)

    But I've signed up to Western Bulldogs Running team.
    http://www.westernbulldogs.com.au/fo...ourne-marathon

    Are any others Woofers doing it?

    So I'm actually doing a bit more than just Melbourne:
    On the 17th of September I'll be running the 42.2 Kms of the Sydney Marathon.
    4 weeks later running the Melbourne Half marathon 21.1 Kms (Go Team bulldog!)
    3 weeks later on the 5th of October by the famous 42.2km New York Marathon.

    All of course in my Bulldogs gear and yes I'm a sucker for punishment!

    Here's me after doing the Hobart marathon earlier this year:



    What I am doing is also taking this opportunity to raise funds for the Western Bulldogs Community Foundation in particular helping newly arrived refugees to Australia.

    We're so lucky to live in the best country in the world and the pain ill suffer on these runs is nothing compared to what they have endured in their lives, this is my way of trying to help.

    I am honored to be a part of these amazing races and helping a great cause, and I’d really appreciate your support.

    Please click and donate to help out. even a Dollar will help!

    And btw last years Melbourne marathon running into the MCG a few weeks after our win had me crying like a baby! - I did my best Tom Boyd impersonation as I fell over the line!

    Love your work ReLoad and Cinders!

    I'm always impressed by people who run any further than, say, 100m, especially for a worthy cause.

    I just look at the sort of stuff and think, "Yeah, nah." Far happier to donate!
    Wake me up when we get to heaven, let me sleep if we're going to hell

    Good luck, for your sake I hope heaven and hell are really there, but I wouldn't hold my breath

    And we all found heaven - 2016 Premiers!
