An Inspiration to All of Us
It has just been announced on Radio Five that Sir Christopher Chataway will be running the Great North Run tomorrow, aiming to beat a time of one hour fifty two minutes. He is nearly 80 and it is also reported in The Independent. This article also gives details about the water project, he’s set up in Ethopia with his son, Adam, in memory of Adam’s fiance, who died in 2006. He also discloses in the article, that he used to smoke.
I can remember as a seven-year-old watching on television as Sir Christopher bear the unbeatable Russian, Vladimir Kuts, over 5,000 metres at the old White City and also claim the world record. Kuts sadly died at just 48!
Sir Christopher has been one of my heroes, since that night in October 1954.
