My personal message:

I did it!

I ran it all, steady and slow and finished with a massive grin on my face in 6 hours and 13 minutes. I am so chuffed. Despite having to stop the training for 4 weeks just 7 weeks before the marathon and not doing any long distances since March I managed it without any serious problems.

This just demonstrates the power of grit, determination and fundraising for a worthy cause. I have reached my target of £1000 and will be delighted to receive more donations from anyone else who wishes to make a real difference to those who come to the Hospice.

Thank you to everyone for your encouragement and generousity, it really helped me focus when the going got tough.

Love from Claire x
