I regret to inform you that after a week of sickness and pain in my right foot, I do not feel confident to run the marathon. 

Today is the day of the race and the first day in the week where I don't feel sick. Running a marathon requires full fit in mind and body, after a debilitating week I don't feel concentrate and strong enough. 

After months of hard training such hard decision is tough, nevertheless I believe it's the right one. 

I will close today this charity and really thank you for supporting my cause.
