Our personal message:

Hi, this is Gareth John from London's Heart!

Thanks so much for visiting my page.

I got a medal!

Finished the London Marathon in 4 hrs 53 mins, 30 minutes quicker than last year....not sure how, but I appear to have got a bit better (or perhaps I was just REALLY rubbish last year!)

Great day, amazing crowds, at times shocking weather, and all so worth it. Thanks to ANYONE who took time out to line the route & shout my name. it helped SO much!

Didn't even get beaten by a tin of beans this year (although a gorilla did peg past me at mile 23!)

I ran for SANDS, the Stillborn & Neonatal Death Society, a charity who provide the most caring & ongoing support to families devastated by the loss of a baby. In particular I ran for my friends Jane & Chris in memory of Abi's sister Megan.

If you feel able to support me & SANDS, there's still time. Please contribute whatever you feel you can & sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast & totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: SANDS will receive your money faster &, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now! And check my blog on www.heart1062.co.uk/gareth to see other reflections on what was an incredible day.

Many thanks & big love

Gareth xx
