Cardiff Half-Marathon – October 2010

Tracy Aze, a postgraduate research student at the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences at Cardiff University, ran the Cardiff Half Marathon on 17 October 2010, raising over £300 for the JWCT.

Tracy said about her preparation and the race itself: “The weather was amazing and it was a super fun day. I had been really poorly with a chest infection . . .

. . . and had not been able to train for four weeks before the race but on the day I was feeling much better and managed to do it in 2 hours 18 minutes. It wasn't as good as I'd hoped for earlier in my training but a good result considering.”

Tracy found out about the JWCT when looking through a list of organisations on the Palaeontological Association website that provides funding for geological fieldwork. She said “although I didn't know [Jeremy], he seemed just like the lads that I hang out with who are mostly young athletic geologists and I was deeply affected and so sad when I read about him on your website. I think that the charity you have set up in his memory is a truly wonderful tribute and the people and projects you fund are very deserving. It will be a pleasure to run for the JWCT as he seemed like an awesome guy.”
