A huge, huge thank you to everyone who's sponsered me so far - it really does make the world of difference. Despite having a rampent cold on the day, I ran anyway (its mworth it) - and sort of hit the wall dramatically at around 35 - 40 K (that's really not worth it!!) and came in at 4:27. Not my best ever time by far, but not my slowest, thankfully!!! It's not too late to sponser me if you've been meaning to and havent quite gotten round to it, every penny does go to a good cause!.... Same time next year...... 6th Time round ... you'd think I'd learn! (but apparently not when to realise im sick and butt out :-)!) This year, I ran on behalf of a local charity called Time and Talents - they're a charity that have been involved in community development and social action in Rotherhithe and Bermondsey since 1887. It was started by a group of women who were appalled by the living and working conditions of women and girls in the dock areas of South London. They determined to give their time and talents to change the situation, and they and their successors fostered a great deal of innovative educational and social work from a variety of settlement and club premises over the next 100 years and more. ... For more information, or to find out how to get involved with such an amazing charity, please see their website... http://www.timeandtalents.org.uk/ (Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Time and Talents will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. )
Thanks for your support! Tom
