WE DID IT! In the beautiful London sunshine, we completed the 13.1 miles. It was a hot one but we loved it! Thank you so much for all your kind donations, it really motivated us to keep going. Thanks to our supporters too who cheered us all the way around. We loved it so much, we are already planning our next half marathon in March! We are so pleased that, with your help, we have been able to help raise an amazing amount of money for Shooting Star Chase Hospice. xx

They have also given great support to my sister during difficult times when they have been able to offer much needed respite from the 24/7 care that my nephew requires.
