Me supporting my friends at the Melbourne Marathon

Doug and Liz are some of my favouritest people in the world! I decided that we should all go and run a marathon. Mummy and Daddy didn't agree but I managed to make them go and watch Liz and Doug do it with GrIan (that is Grandpa Ian for short). It is lucky that i managed to get Liz and Doug to run cos they raised over $13,000 which was multiplied by 10 by World Vision that's just over $130,000 all cos of me :). That is all going to the Starving People of South Africa. Next year they are going to run the new York Marathon and raise even more money. Mummy says no f&^$^%$(*&g Way to doing that! auntie Liz thinks she is wearing her down though.

Here they are at the 20km spot just before halfway. You can see that Auntie Liz was having a great time and Doug was pretty happy about it all here too. It was easy to see Doug coming cos his hair could be seen from a long way away that was a bonus to see Liz cos she was harder to see. Mummy and Daddy wouldn't get out of bed early enough to see the start so I was a little grumpy that this was the first time we saw them.

 Her I am at the 40km point it had been a long time up until now so I have decided to drink Liz and Doug's water and eat their food. Supporting is a full time job and you have to maintain your intake of energy so that you can finish strong.

Doug and Liz look great after their run. They have cool medals to wear for the rest of their lives. They only took 3hours and 52 minutes!

 It was hard work supporting so I had to tie my balloon on to stop it getting away.

Well done Doug and Liz and balloons are cool
