A Cambuslang man has decided to run in the Paris Marathon in April 2010 and all sponsorship money will be passed on to Radio Lollipop Glasgow. Robert Orr, a 30year old from Eastfield, Cambuslang is the neighbour of Andy Gray ,Chairperson,of Radio Lollipop Glasgow. Robert knows all about the work carried out at Yorkhill and never hesitated when it came to using the run for a great cause.
Robert said “I had no idea how intense just getting the right shoes was. The experts in the running store had me on a treadmill for ages assessing the correct and best shoes to suit my needs” He has also been training very hard and says of his programme “I am following a fourteen week type,and at present am at the 11 week stage and the long mileage runs are really kicking in now,the bad weather has not hampered me that much . Although I have struggled with giving up chocolate ,crisps ,fries and fizzy juices. The thought that is keeping me going though is a huge meal on the Sunday night with a large sweet at the end of it”
We at Glasgow Radio Lollipop wish Robert all the best for the race and anyone interested in sponsoring him or wish to find out more contact andy.gray@radiolollipop.org
