<p>UPDATED 3/5/11: After an intense 2 month training programme, sore knee and chaffed axilla?!! I completed the London Marathon inside 5 hours, despite the heat, sunshine and a pre-run sore left thigh. Many thanks for all those who came to support me on the day, and everyone who has been donating so generously towards the RNIB; which after all is why I ran in the first place.</p> <p>There is still time to donate - so please dig deep - thank you!</p> <p>MAC</p> <p>Hi there!</p> <p>Many thanks for taking time to read my page.</p> <p>It has been hard to try and pick myself up from the difficult challenges that I faced last year. However, thankfully 2011 has begun and I have decided to shake off the winter blues by trying to complete a lifelong ambition of mine: the London Marathon.</p> <p>My choice of supporting the Royal National Institute of Blind People, came naturally from my time and energy spent at Moorfield's Eye Hospital, London. I hope that this opportunity will enable me to give back something to this great institution and worthwhile cause.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
