The 2009 London Marathon completed in 5 hours and 48 minutes on behalf of the housing charity Shelter.

The crowds and other runners were as great as ever in their support and efforts.

A great day.

A big thank you to fellow runners Mick Collins and Ali Eastwood, who kept me going (or waiting !) and to all those who have sponsored me.

I hope you can donate on-line as the money goes straight to Shelter.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. Shelter gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

All the best
