Story

Well I did it!

I managed to complete the marathon in 4:45:55 and had one of the most memorable experiences of my life. It was a wonderful day, if a little on the warm side, and the crowds and other runners made it very special (even though I ran most of the way with a womble, who then beat me!). Thank you to all my friends for your sponsorship and to my family for the support and encouragment throughout. The banner was brilliant!

You can of course still sponsor me - donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: BTBS The book trade charity 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.

So please sponsor me now!
