FINISHED - eventually got to the finish line and claimed my medal (which has not left my sight since!). 

That is it for me - it was tough but doing this for charity was the best reason for doing such a silly distance in such a heat!

Thank you so much for all of the support.  Today (first day back in work after the marathon) I received a donation that took me over the £2500 target.  So happy to make it!  Of course if you are still interested in sponsoring me then please do, it will all be put to good use.

THANK YOU!!

I promise to update my blog, just as soon as my legs stop aching ;-)

NB - Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Samaritans gets your money faster and, if you’re a taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.  So please sponsor me now!
