Story

Hello everyone,

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Well, I DID IT.....not only in a better time than I had hoped for (5h10 would have suited me, that beating my previous Amsterdam time by 6 minutes) but I beat my PB from London 2003 by 6 minutes.  Romping (ha ha) home in 4.32.30.

 

I am sure you runners out there will understand the feeling I had when I crossed the line....the last 4 K's were hard and felt like more than 42k....but the old legs held out and carried me over.

I hope those who get this email will sponsor me if they have not done so already.  Thanks to all of you who have done so.

Please sponsor me by donating through JustGiving it is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Have passed the 100% now as you can see, so that's made it all worthwhile.  But I am sure there are some more folk out there who were waiting for me to cross the finish line before donating, it's your time now.

Much appreciated.
