Story
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;">I'm thrilled to say that I managed to complete the Marathon in 6hrs and 8mins. It was tough but worth it. Particular thanks to Lilly who ran with me regularly, Ash who encouraged me throughout the last six months (and got me into it in the first place), Pauline and Mel (physio and advice).</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;">On the day thank you to all of you who came down to cheer me on and without which I could not have done it: Zephyr, Raphael, Marilyn, Ariani, Ash, Lilly, Tessa, Nikita, Shanti, Mike, Amelia, Bea, Tagore, Catherine, Sebastian, Isaac, Alex, Emily, Nicky, Joey, Nicola, Rollo, Jamie, Debbie, Annie, Vicky, Jack, Rosie, Liz, Anya, Mikka, Rachel, Danny, Emily, Alice and Jemima.</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #3366ff;">I was also urged on by all the many messages and wishes from you all and the amazing generosity to Freedom from Torture which means that I have raised well over my expectations. Thank you so much.</span><span style="color: #00ffff;"></span><span style="color: #00ffff;">Its true! I am <em>attempting</em> to run the Virgin London Marathon in April. If you want to come along on the day to see for yourself please do - it should be fun, for you! Any donations to the charity Freedom from Torture would be great.
