<p>Dear friends,</p> <p>On 10th April a dozen of us set off, along with 40,000 others, along the Champs-&Eacute;lys&eacute;es for a leisurely 26.2 mile jog. The weather was excellent - too good in fact - and before long it was a searing 25 degrees. 3 hours 15 minutes and 45 seconds later I stumbled over the finish line - legs like jelly, utterly exhausted and mightily relieved. It was 45 seconds outside my target time but given the heat I was grateful just to be standing!<br /><br />A huge, huge thank you to all of those who have so generously supported me either through donations, emails, calls or even being there in Paris. I am delighted to say I have raised over &pound;1,700&nbsp; for the Too Many Women campaign (www.toomanywomen.co.uk), which is raising money for Breakthrough Breast Cancer (www.breakthrough.org.uk). As a group, the Paris runners have raised over &pound;20,000 for Too Many Women which is really extraordinary.</p> <p>Many thanks for your support. It means a huge amount.</p> <p>Nick</p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
