The Maasai marathon runners - Update

Six Maasai warriors will run the London Marathon today, which is just starting as I type this, to raise money for a well in their village.

Isaya, 24, is their chief. This is a diary of his week in London, the first time he has left Tanzania.



Heathrow was very busy and it was difficult to walk on the floor because some of it moved. You're walking along and the next moment it's whooosh! It's difficult to get on and off but very good when you're on.

I miss meat and blood very much. Not vegetables because they are food for a woman. There is milk here but blood is better because it gives energy. English tea with sugar is good and we tried Coco Pops, but the nicest food is croissants.
