A year of running for Frankie

Published: 13 December 2009 | 

A note from Laura Foster: “I just love to run, and I know how I’d feel in Frankie’s shoes - though I’m not sure I’d have her die-hard spirit to keep perservering against the battles she has to win. And because, like her, I’m single, self-employed and on the far side of forty, (fa a a r!) the spectre of not being able to cover one’s bills and make one’s way is ever at one’s side. And, as I said in the Augrabies snippet, knowing that I’ve made a commitment to help Frankie is a tremendous motivator - so in that respect it’s a selfish thing to a certain extent, if one is honest There’s a degree of self-gratification in helping others, but I really do believe in karma and the power of positive actions and thinking. And one should never, never, never, become complacent about one’s health and happiness - they are fragile things and if have them, we must nurture and enjoy them
You may by all means put me in the blog - as an endorsement of backabuddy I would definitely say that you, Rivashnee, in particular, and backabuddy as an organisation have gone several miles beyond the extra mile to help with my efforts, and I can’t tell you what a lift it gives one to log onto one’s page and see that donations have come in, and read the messages of support!”
