Fab Female: Pauline Newsholme

1
 comment

70 year-old Pauline Newsholme ran her 70th marathon last December.  She has traveled all over the world to run marathons for the past 28 years.

Watching her husband complete London’s first marathon inspired her to start running.  She also wanted to raise funds for children’s charities after her daughter was paralyzed by a rare complication from measles.   Since then, Clare made a full recovery, but Pauline continued running, and her efforts have raised more than £20,000 ($29,600) for children’s charities.

Go Pauline!

The article.  And another article from when she was 69.

Maybe not that related, but how do you raise money by running the marathon or stuff like that? A friend and I were thinking of running a local marathon and it would be cool if we could help out some charity, but what exactly do we have to do? Sponsors? Does anyone have any experience?
