The luxury of choice<\/h5>\n
During all those hours of training it occurred to me that preparing for a marathon is not necessarily hard, it just requires making choices all the time. The choice to not skip the training. To go for a run early in the morning even when on holiday. To skip the alcohol. To pick yourself up after a shitty run. To train when it rains. To be flexible and create time for friends & family. I was able to make those choices and that’s a luxury. As is travelling to New York to go running. People with Brittlebones (OI) would make those same choices, if only they could. That’s why, during one of my runs I came up with ‘Beats for Brittlebones’.<\/p>\n
Beats for Brittlebones<\/h5>\n
When I go running, I always listen to music on Spotify. I like the surprise element of not knowing what the next song will be so I often use random playlists. Now, I am asking you to help me create my own Beats for Brittlebones playlist of Spotify. And the marathon is a pretty long run so I am looking for a fabulous & divers playlist to get me through all 42,195 kms!<\/p>\n
Here’s how it works<\/h5>\n
STEP 1 – \u00a0You send me a song and I will add it to my Beats for Brittlebones playlist on Spotify<\/p>\n
STEP 2 – \u00a0I will make a personal donation to the Care4Brittlebones foundation for each and every song I receive<\/p>\n
STEP 3 – \u00a0It’s your choice if you want to make a donation to the foundation<\/p>\n
Want to send me a song? Go to\u00a0Send me your song!\u00a0<\/a>to submit your track! Anything goes, from Bach to Bon Jovi and from Hazes to Hardcore. And don’t hold back, as I will make a personal donation to Care4Brittlebones foundation for every song I receive!<\/p>\n Want to make a donation? Fantastic! You can send your donation to the account number listed below.<\/p>\n I will regularly post updates on our New York Marathon adventure on Facebook.

I’ve been a runner for about three years now and doing a marathon was never on my wish-list. Not even close. Yet, here I am only weeks away from heading to New York. Because that’s where we are going, me and my friend. Follow our New … <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/beats4brittlebones.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/10\/BfB_18-2.jpg\")
