Story

Hello folks
 
Last April all of you generously fulfilled the pledge you made to support Afghan Aid, in spite of the fact that I had not completed the London Marathon. Since that time I have felt the need to fulfill my end of the bargain, so I just wanted to let you know that last weekend I managed to complete the London Marathon.

 

I was aiming for 4h:30min but settled for 4:57. I was pleased that I didn't need to stop, although technically I wouldn't call it running - more like a slow jog.
 
The memory of your generosity in 2010 kept me well-motivated during my training and during the actual race.
 
Thanks again.

Andrew
