Last Sunday, 20th November 2016, Sarah
Parfitt and some friends ran the Great Ethiopian Run in Addis Ababa.
They pushed an Ethiopian friend's father around the course in a
wheelchair. Sarah said it was incredibly moving. On Saturday 26th
November there was a special Cookham Running Club Handicap Race
("The Great Ethiopian Run Comes To Cookham"). The emphasis
was on fun (1 mile or 5km). It was to celebrate all that has been
achieved between Cookham and Gende Tesfa. Sarah has two flyers signed
by Haile Gebrselassie for the winners. With special thanks to Rachel
Sellman for the flyer.
