Rosie Swale Pope is running 26 marathons in 26 days starting last week on Easter Monday. I went over to Sturminster Newton on Friday, Rosie's 5th marathon, to run with her alongside members of the Gillingham Joggers who were taking her on the route of the North Dorset Village Marathon. It was a great priviledge to meet someone who has run round the world on her own (took her 5 years) and to run with her and help her push her icebird home up the hills. I managed 9 miles, before time dictated that I had to turn back to Sturminster and thence back to Devon. Do look at her website, wwwrosies26marathonsin26days.co.uk She is running for 2 childrens hospices. Penny Clapham.
