Story

ALL DONE AND DUSTED.

Yep all done and feeling proud. 26 miles of torture (well 10, the first 16 were ok !).  In the end only managed 2 weeks of "real" training due to injury but managed to hobble round in 5 hours 15 mins. (Nearly caught Paula at the 2meter point).

Thank You all for your support and I know I speak on behalf of the ABF when I say your money will make a big difference to servicemen who need it for whatever reason.

All together I have been pledged around £800, I will let you know the accurate amount when it is all collected.

 Just tallied it all up and sponsor money equals £927.43 and on top of that there is the gift aid from all the working tax payers, so overall I reckon we got together over £1000. THANK YOU.
