My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

I last completed the London Marathon in 1989 before life became busy raising 4 lovely children. I continue to enjoy my running and after securing a place in the London Marathon last year,my 50th,unfortunately due to injury I was unable to take part. This year I am in great shape and am confident of completing my second London Marathon. AND....................................................................................................

I DID IT!! The atmosphere and support was absolutely fantastic, and I am proud to say that I completed the 26 miles in 5.00.10 official time. Here I am freshening up after experiencing mixed weather of heavy showers and sunshine. My lovely family and friends gave me a boost at miles 17, 21, and 25. You were all wonderful, and I thank you.

Also, as you can see donationas have risen to over £1000, which is fantastic! It's still not too late to sponsor, so keep them coming.

My chosen charity is close to my heart as sadly my mother suffers with Alzheimer's disease and has been cared for by Whitway Nursing Home in Dorset during the past 7 years. I would like to dedicate this run to my mother, and by doing so, would also like to thank all the staff at the nursing home for their continued care of my mother.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Alzheimer's Research Trust 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.

A BIG THANK YOU TO EVERYONE!

Wendy
