My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page for the 2009 London Marathon.

Well, as you can see I completed the 2009 London Marathon. My finishing time was 3:46:57 which placed me 6041! I had secretly hoped for under 3 1/2 hours but am delighted to be under the 4 hour mark, it was a very hot day and cramp at about mile 23 didn't help to say the least! A great day and the crowds were amazing cheering us on all the way. My legs are like lead today (day after) and stairs are a killer, but it was all worthwhile.

Thanks to everyone who has sponsored me so far, you have been very generous and it has been a real encouragement and kept me going, particularly through the last few miles.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: BRACE 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.
Thanks again,

Dave.
