Ekaterina Rogozhkina
My name is Ekaterina, I am an English teacher and this will be my second charity run as a Miles for Smiles team member. I had a great time last year – lots and lots of runners, everyone's is cheering up for you, the sun is shining, people smiling, the atmosphere was amazing. To be frank with you, I was a bit worried about finishing the race when I crossed the 5km mark (I was getting tired really fast), but my colleague and co-runner Natalia Borisova was there for me when I needed it most – she slowed down a bit to root for me and cheer me up! A friend in need is a friend indeed! At the end I crossed the finish line and was embraced my other team members and our brilliant Sheredar supporters, it was truly an amazing feeling. This year I decided to do it again (and maybe will get my daughter on board too!) and I am planning to break a leg for it!
