Holly Ord conquers New York Marathon

On November 6, 2011 Holly Ord ran the world famous 42km New York Marathon.

Holly raised over $15, 000 for Cure Cancer Australia thru her '42km Closer to a Cure' fundraising program.

For the record Holly covered the 42km in a speedy 3hours 51minute & 37 seconds. (average pace was 5:30 per km or 11kph).

This might be Holly's first and last marathon judging by her postcard sent from Times Square NYC:

To all at Mind, Body & Soul

I made it!! It was long, cold but amazing!

I am certainly a one-marathon wonder, never again.

See you all when I get back.
