Well after the months of training and hundreds of miles running around Leicestershire I managed to make it around the streets of London in 4hrs 39mins 42secs.

A massive thank you to all of the people who've already sponsored me either on here or on my many sponsor forms and for those who haven't - It's not too late to do so, so dig deep :o)

The money raised at the marathon by all of the people running for Wishes 4 Kids is being used to take 3 very poorly children and their families to Disneyland, Paris.

I was running for Wishes 4 Kids - who are an amazing Leicestershire charity who grant wishes for children who are unwell for one reason or another - you can find details of the charity on www.wishes4kids.co.uk.  Take a few minutes to check them out - they really are a fantastic charity.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
