<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">All done and dusted. An epic journey - six hours and twenty minutes of it! A triumpth&nbsp;for determination and bloody mindeness&nbsp;- and&nbsp;the huge amount of Lucazade gels they were handing out! Although I do feel somewhat humbled - our 71 year old runner, Jasmine, thrashed our time - so great respect to her too! My fellow sledger Leo, never grumbled or moaned about the considerable pain he was in and it was a great privalage to cross the finish line with a bit of a sprint! Thank you all for all your support. The crowd and fellow runners were amazing - made you proud to be British!</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; font-size: 10.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; font-size: 10.5pt;">I feel extremely privileged to be the CEO of such an incredible organisation and one whose staff continuously go the extra mile every day. As a small token of my recognition for the fantastic work that they do, I have rather bravely (or stupidly) agreed to drag a sledge around this year&rsquo;s London Marathon with two fellow 'sledgers' from PWC. Our personal struggle will be symbolic of St Giles&rsquo; wider struggle to break down society&rsquo;s barriers and the unfounded misconceptions that still surround ex offenders. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; font-size: 10.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; font-size: 10.5pt;">It is also a further honour to be representing St Giles in the year of the Trust&rsquo;s 50 Anniversary and to be one of the 3 &lsquo;lucky&rsquo; sledgers chosen to fill the places very kindly donated by the Foundation of HRH Prince William, the Duke of Cambridge, and new patron of St Giles for 2012. As such, y</span><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB;">our donations and support are of particular significance and will certainly go a long way to helping many vulnerable and disadvantaged people in the UK turn their lives around. </span><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; font-size: 10.5pt;">Thank you once again for visiting my page and please give generously! </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; font-size: 10.5pt;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp;quot; font-size: 10.5pt;">Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
