Our personal message:

Thanks to all for sponsoring us!

We completed the race in 8hrs 45 minutes - our target was 9 hrs so we are pleased with the result. All told a very enjoyable experience although the last few ks were pretty hurtful.

It was great to have raised such a great sum for this cause, thanks again to everyone!

Jim, Ed and Al
