My sincere thanks to everyone who sponsored me for this event. It has meant a huge amount to me personally and to the clients of Compaid.

I am pleased to report that I finished the race in 1.47.29, 765th in a field of almost 2,000 runners, and have the blisters to prove it. More importantly, with your help - and the Gift Aid uplift - I exceeded my target sponsorship of £500.

If you would like to make a retrospective donation, donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Compaid and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs.

Next stop, a marathon in 2011. Watch this space!
