Team Miroma / Wairoa thanks past runners

It all began in 2008 or 2009, when I was going to a gym where they had a running group for City to Surf. That stopped happening at my younger son’s primary school also ran. Her name was Sophia and said she used to raise money in the UK for Benardos. I didn’t have the time to help with fund raisers at James’ special needs high school, Wairoa, so she suggested I raise money by running for Wairoa. As they say the rest is history.

I opted to do the Harbour Bridge as the City to Surf was it was too close to the end of soccer season, Yes, I still play……….

So, the 10km bridge in September began. However, I did do other runs over the years including the Bay Run (in the middle of winter!)

The Run and the kilometres

Training was all over the place, such as the Bay Run, Maroubra and Coogee beaches and area around them, along Cooks River, Sydney University, Centennial Park, Earlwood Oval, Bexley North Bush, the streets of the around Sydney Harbour, Pyrmont Bay, & The Blue Mountains.

Team Miroma has even run virtually during the Covid times, even with Aisha running with us linked by FaceTime to Melbourne!

These wonderful people gave up their time to support Wairoa then Miroma, when James graduated from high school in year 12 with the Higher School Certificate.

Thank you to the following people who have the run the kilometres with me
