Kash Ziaei

As most of you would know I am no stranger to running, fun runs and half marathons having done numerous fun runs and 2 half marathons already. At this point your probably wondering... "yeah, so what? You've done 2 half marathons and you didn't learn from the first 2, so your stupid enough to have a go at another one!"

Yes you are right, the only difference this time is that I will be using my stupidity for good rather than just to prove a point. I am running the next half marathon as part of Can Too with the other Savills guys to raise money for cancer research.

Now the bit about me having to prove myself, which goes with out saying... the last 2 half marathons that I have completed I have done so in 1hr 41min 48sec and 1hr 41min 16sec respectively. For the next race I have set myself the ambitious goal of 90 min or 1hr 30. To give my self a little bit more of an incentive I will be donating $50 for every minute (or part there of) that I am over this time and $100 for every minute (or part there of) that I go under this time. Once official results are released everyone will get a copy of my time and the copy of my receipt proving that I lived up to my promise BUT I also am looking for your sponsorship and support of my goal and raise even more money for cancer research.

So you know that I love to run and that I am very competitive and I love the social aspect that sport brings so I am able to combine all three things that I enjoy doing as part of the Savills Can Too Team and the extra bonus of raising money for cancer research.
