496th place in a time of 2hrs 52mins and 4 secs. 49th for my age category (45-50)

Pleased to beat 3 hours but cramping in the last 2-3 miles meant that I drifted off sub 2.50 pace.

Good news....BAE Systems have pledged  £300 !

MANY THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAVE CONTRIBUTED THUS FAR

I appreciate any small donation you can make and have chosen a hospice local to me that depends upon donations like this to enable it to continue it's specialist, palliative care for individuals and their families facing the diagnosis of a life threatening disease.

It was opened in 1984, the vision of a local resident Molly Wisdom, after she was diagnosed with cancer and recognised the need for a hospice in the area.

Their aim is "to relieve the symptoms of advanced disease in order to maintain an optimum quality of life".

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Friends of The Wisdom Hospice 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.
