Manfred Michlits Keeps Running

Breaking news: check our January 14 update.

Back in December we gave you an outline of Manfred Michlits's route through Eastern Europe at the start of his 2007 run around the world, raising money for worthy children's charities. His website gives daily updates of his progress, so we can now report that he's still running through Hungary, soon to head into Serbia and Montenegro.

To date, Manfred's run hasn't been without its problems: on Thursday, he stopped early rather than risk running in a dangerous area - a difficult road with many potholes, heavy traffic and no lighting. But other parts of the run have also been successful, with some 18 other runners accompanying him on the first day as he crossed the Slovak border to enter Bratislava.

Currently following the route through Hungary, Manfred's schedule has him re-entering our region of Eastern Europe on January 14 when he's due to hit Bulgaria. Stay tuned then for another update!
