A compact but enthusiastic fundraising team travelled to Malta for the island’s annual marathon. Raising funds for charity stem4, the runners and walkers braved really tough weather conditions to complete the course which runs from Malta’s old capital Mdina to the waterfront at Sleima. Unlike previous events where the sun has been much in evidence, this year the heavens opened and the wind howled. Huge puddles formed along the route,
