A note from my dad:

Congratulations to Christine for completing the 5k run.  Only a few months ago she couldn’t even run to the end of her garden.  She was showing me the picture of her crossing the finishing line and I thought that at last she has managed to grasp the idea of a race.  I was remembering a certain playschool sports day in 1987 or 1988.  I have attached a couple of pictures I took.  In the first picture Christine is lined up with her classmates waiting for the starting whistle.  In the second, as you can see, they have all gone and she is stood there on the starting line all on her own.  The expression on her face said “Where have they gone?”
