London Flora Marath 2007
When you decide to run the
London marathon, make sure it’s the hottest one ever! This is one of the toughest things I’ve ever done. Especially when my legs turn into cement around the 21 mile mark. And if it wasn’t for the hoard of young ladies, screaming, “Come on Barks” I might not of made it. Also my mates, who appeared at the 23 mile mark, after dragging themselves away from the beer garden help me raise the bar, to push on home. The sight of Buckingham palace spurred me to over take Scooby doo and spider man, and finish strongly. Not only did I beat these 2 famous characters, I also left Hiley Gabriel Selassie for dead.
My Time 3hrs 53Mins. Will I ever do this again maybe if an extra hot marathon is predicted for about 10 years time!
I want to thank everyone who took time to sponsor me online, buy a raffle ticket and sponsor me offline. I know many people get asked to donate everyday for various causes so thank you for taking time to do this for me.
The charity scope help people like my cousin Sam Barkley who suffer from cerebral palsy. If you would still like to donate you can do so on this site.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Scope will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
Many thanks for your support!
Peter 'Marathon Man' Barkley.
