Well, 4 hours, 22 minutes and 51 seconds after I started, I managed to cross the finish line on The Mall. 

Thank you enormously to everyone who sponsored me.  Your generosity has been outstanding and has enabled me to raise more than double my initial target, which was well beyond my wildest dreams.

I'll take this opportunity to specifically thank my wife, Chris, and my sons, Matt & Oliver, for their forebearance whilst I was taking up valuable family Sundays on my long training runs.  If it wasn't for them, I simply could not have done it.  Their support all the way through has been fantastic.

I also owe thanks to my sister Gill for raising so much for me through work, and to my "in-laws" for doing the same.  To have people who don't even know you prepared to sponsor you is very humbling indeed.  Thank you again.

A fantastic experience, and an honour to have had the opportunity to raise money for a charity that has so much relevance to my family, but I won't be doing it again - just too painful!
