"Heartbreak Hill" here we come... |
| Roberta and Rachel McBurney bravely joined more than 600 women, including former Olympic champion Mary Peters, for the spectacular Belfast Telegraph Runher event on 29 June 2008. The 5km race aimed at raising money for children’s cancer charity CLIC Sargent saw women of all ages and abilities take to the roads around east Belfast for the fundraiser. Representing CLIC Sargent was 21-year-old Katrina Black who was diagnosed with a brain tumour at the age of 11. She had to use a wheelchair for some time after her operation but these days she is vice-chair of the Belfast Youth Forum and has been to the House of Commons to raise awareness of surviving cancer. | | Official starter on the day, Dame Mary Peters, pentathlon gold medallist at the 1972 Munich Games walked the east Belfast course. Fortunately early morning rain eased off into breezy sunshine for the 690 women who signed up. Roberta signed up for the run along with several other members of the Ladies Workout Express Gym and they all thoroughly enjoyed the event. Rachel was persuaded by her enthusiastic mother to sign up and managed to cross the finish tape a short distance ahead of her mum! She is now under pressure to maintain her breathtaking pace throughout the 8k run planned for Ormeau Park in October and the 10k in 09. | | Not even a problem! Watch this space.  Rachel & Roberta |
