Flora London Marathon 2008 · 13 April 2008 ·

Every 2 hours, someone in the UK sustains a spinal cord injury. Their world – and that of their family – is turned upside-down. SIA aim to reach everyone affected by spinal cord injury, to connect them to all the help and support they need to life a fulfilled life.

Story

Well, I did it!!

Despite all the injury problems I had during my last few weeks of training, I dragged my heavy carcass around that 26.2 miles in 4hrs, 16mins and 10seconds. The Marathon itself was one of the most amazing experiences of my life - the crowd and atmosphere are absolutely out of this world, so good in fact, that the very first thing I did this morning was get my entry off for next years!

Thank you to all of you who have made donations, your generosity has been touching, and your money will empower the SIA to continue to do some very worthy work with, and on behalf of, some very worthy people.

To those of you still wishing to make a donation, thank you for visiting my fundraising page. It is still possible to donate using this page, and donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Spinal Injuries Association will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
