26.2 miles in under 3 and a half hours. Sounds easy on paper and I will be posting regular updates, the highs and the lows. Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life as by the obstacles which he has overcome.

NAACP


Everyone should be aware that the NAACP celebrates 100 years as an organisation on February 12th. Whilst they are not a flawless organisation, they deserve full recognition for the part they have played in bringing the issues facing african Americans to the forefront of US politics. In the year of the first black president of their country, the NAACP have more reason than ever to let people know that they are still working tirelessly for equal rights. They may have clashed with other figures in the civicl rights movement, Martin Luther King being the most prominent, they had their reasons, mainly political, and managed to build a platform for all black leaders to stand on and be noticed.
