I did it!!!
It was a painful experience, made all the more dramatic by pouring rain and a burst of hail on the approach to Big Ben, but I managed to run all the way and finished in 4 hours and 24 minutes. I completed the course with a good friend from uni, the lovely Katie Bennetts, and we crossed the finish line arm in arm and on the verge of tears! It really is quite an emotional experience and I'm thoroughly relieved not to have to run another step for the forseeable future.
As you can see I've still got a way to go in hitting my target, but this page will be up and running for another few weeks so please sponsor me if you have some pennies to spare. I'm donating to Barnardos....see the link to the left for details of the amazing work they do.
Here's some blurb about this lovely site: "Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Barnardo's 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."
THANK YOU for your support.
