She added, “Every child regardless of ability or gender should have the opportunity to enjoy participating in sporting activities. AITC provides this and does so many other good things.”
*
Riepenhof has also offered some key advice to all marathon runners. He said, “People know what to do for an hour or so but not longer. It becomes really important to eat right, drink right and to keep everything in balance so you can perform between 30-42 kilometers because that’s where you make time or lose a lot of time.”

Runners taking part in this year’s Brighton Marathon and raising money for AITC are Kirsty Burroughs, Andrew Lamb, Phil Withers, Tom Collins, Tim Jones and James Demster. To support them visit [url]www.justgiving.com/aitc[/URL]
