Shona Thomson runs Paris International marathon in support of GOAL projects

On Sunday April 6th, Shona Thomson, GOAL supporter and committee member, ran the annual “Paris International Marathon” in support of GOAL USA. Thomson completed the marathon with a finish time of 3:29:04 and raised an impressive $2,158 from friends and family in the U.S., U.K., Australia, France and China! The marathon course was fantastic as it passes through the heart of Paris. Every year 35,000 participants run the 26.2 mile course that passes the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral and Place de la Bastille. This was Thomson’s third time running a marathon for GOAL USA. She completed the New York Marathon in 2005 and the Boston Marathon in 2006.
