Sponsor Matt in the Berlin Marathon

There will be 40,000 people running in the Berlin Marathon on 26th September 2010. World record holder Haile Gebrselassie is one of them, the MHF's Matt Maycock is another. Who needs your support? 

Yes, you can sponsor the MHF's development manager in his first ever marathon by clicking the button below.

Matt says: 'The Berlin Marathon is actually where the world record was broken in 2004 by Haile Gebrselassie in the quite amazing time of 2h03:59. Haile Gebrselassie is running again this year, although he will finish in well under half the time I'm hoping for (anything under 5 hours will do). A marathon is 42.195 kilometres or 26.219 miles so despite lots of training this is a major challenge.'

You can say that again, Matt.
