My story

I completed the 2012 London Marathon in 5 hours and 3 mins on Sunday 22 April.

 

I managed to avoid the rain by about ½ hour ,get a suntan and get back to the post-race reception at The Royal Society for my goody bag and massage before the white rabbit ( who was just finishing when I left about 2 hours later)

 

Support was fantastic all the way around the course with people shouting out the name of the runners as well as loads of live music, bbqs etc on the way.

 

Thanks to everyone for their support!

 

I am still taking donations to reach my target for these 2 charities!

Thank you xx

Charity Registration No. 1005541 and 1017658

The Prostate Cancer Charity and Breast Cancer Care have teamed up joint official charities for the 2012 Virgin London Marathon. Together we are TeamPB! Our goal is to recruit our biggest team to date and to raise £1 million to help change the lives of those affected by prostate and breast cancer. Prostate cancer and breast cancer are the most common cancers in men and women respectively in the UK today. This year 37,000 men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer and 50,000 people will be diagnosed with breast cancer. Combined, more than 750,000 people are living with these two cancers in the UK right now. By running together we can raise more awareness and more money to support the more than 750,000 people living with these two cancers in the UK right now. Donations and Gift Aid made to the Team PB JustGiving pages will be split 50/50 between both charities.
