Hi Marina, Just a quick message to say all the best for the
race – I think you know how much I’d love to be coming along

a minute to see this before the big start) and we’ll be following
you all the way – you’ll have a fantastic time I’m sure! Good
Luck

Cummon Marina, I've high hopes that you'll do better than with
us lot on Wild Child [and especially J-spot - say no more] don't

of course. Go madge...!!!

your head and your heart and gather no dust! Think Large!!

keep your chin up no matter what!
