On the 17th October 2006, Vicky Buchanan, a friend of mine was tragically killed on her bicycle on her way to work.
Subsequently Adam, her fiancé, has set up a legacy to a beautiful and wonderful woman - Vicky's Water Project - a water network in Ethiopia. I will be running the Great North Run 2007 amongst 200 friends and family of Vicky - the largest single group ever to participate in this event - who will be raising money in her memory. The aim is to provide fresh water to tens of thousands of people, a basic right of every human. This is a very tangible project where every penny will impact the lives of thousands upon thousands of people.
I feel privileged to have met and befriended Vicky, through Adam, having only known them since the end of university. Her thoughtfulness, energy and spirit of fun will always stay with me.
Please sponsor me and raise money for a great charity to help thousands of people, in memory of a wonderful woman.
...and to motivate a non-marathon runner!
