<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "Eras Medium ITC","sans-serif";">Our boys completed the gruelling course in 11 hours 45 minutes and 13 hours 11 minutes respectively.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Both did incredibly well, despite Tony suffering due to a painful stress fracture in his foot! The support around the course was phenomenal with many of you turning out to support Martin and Tony along the way. Suffice it to say they were feeling the effects the day after! </span><span style="font-family: Wingdings; mso-ascii-font-family: 'Eras Medium ITC'; mso-hansi-font-family: 'Eras Medium ITC'; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span><span style="font-family: "Eras Medium ITC","sans-serif";"> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: "Eras Medium ITC","sans-serif";"><span style="font-size: small;">And so now to you, the supporters. Your donations have been generous and numerous and will make a huge difference to both Bolton Hospice and the Christie Hospital. I know that Martin and Tony have been overwhelmed by your support and it really spurred them on with their training and on the day itself. So, a huge thank you and well done to all of you who have supported our athletes. I’m sure they would agree that they couldn’t have done it without your help.</span></span></p>
