English Version (Italiano sotto):

Hi there,
finally back to Connemara.
Sure, back, cause after 5 years in Connemara for the Marathon, every single year,
life decided that it was time for a break.
Cancer appeared in my life and now I'm a cancer patient.
I had bad times, it was not easy but I'm lucky enough to be still here,
and try to participate again to a Connemara Marathon.
After having the great luck of Winning the Connemara Marathon for two times in 2008 and 2009,
and living 5 nice years in Ireland, what would have been better than going back to Connemara
to walk the Marathon (I'm starting slow, but does not matter) and help collect some funds for Charity
for an Organization that works for Cancer Patients?
So if you wanna follow me or just help for charity collection,
you can donate some money that will go to CancerCareWest.ie but also
contact me to come and join me in walking the Connemara Marathon the next 1st of April 2012.

I look forward to see your donation or get an email from you to organize for you to come
in Connemara with us. We are planning to be a nice group of walkers having a great day in such
an incredible place which is Connemara.

take care,
Simone.

ps: I cheated, I just moved the charity objective from 2.000 to 2.500, I think we can make it, isn't it?

Italiano:

Salve,
finalmente si torna a Connemara
Già, tornare, perché dopo 5 volte ogni anno a Connemara per la Maratona,
la vita ha deciso che era ora di prendere una pausa.
Il cancro è apparso nella mia vita e ora sono un paziente oncologico.
Ho avuto momenti duri, non è stato facile ma sono fortunato abbastanza per
essere ancora qui, cercando di partecipare nuovamente,
alla Maratona di Connemara.
Dopo avere avuto la grande fortuna di vincere la Maratona di Connemara per
due volte nel 2008 e nel 2009, e di vivere 5 anni in Irlanda, cosa sarebbe stato meglio
se non tornare a Connemara per camminare la Maratona (sto partendo lentamente, ma
non importa) e aiutare con una raccolta fondi per un'organizzazione che lavora per
pazienti oncologici?
Quindi, se mi volete seguire e aiutare, potete fare una donazione per CancerCareWest.ie. Ma potete
anche contattarmi per unirvi a me nel camminare la Maratona di Connemara il
prossimo primo di Aprile 2012!

Aspetto fiducioso la vostra donazione e un'email per organizzare il vostro viaggio
per essere a Connemara con noi. Stiamo pianificando di essere un bel gruppo di camminatori
per vivere una bella giornata in un posto così incredibile come Connemara.

a presto
Simone

ps: ho appena barato spostando l'obiettivo della raccolta da 2.000 a 2.500, ce la facciamo, non è vero?
