Well what started as a slightly daft idea in the middle of last year came to fruition on Sunday 18th April when I completed the 26 mile course in 4h51. I am now shuffling around everywhere as both feet are black and blue and my left knee is twice the size it used to be. You may be please to know that I beat Jeffrey Archer and Larraine Kelly, but was stuffed by Gordon Ramsay and Nell McAndrew!!

I am still trying to raise as much as I can for Barnardo's and have almost achieved my £2000 target. The charity works to help disadvantaged children by fighting problems like abuse, homelessness, poverty and the challenges of disability. Please sponsor me online, it's the most efficient way for me to raise funds for my charity. If you are a UK taxpayer your donation will be increased by almost a third at no cost to you.

Any amount will make a difference so please give what you can! Many thanks to all that already given so generously and everyone that has supported me over the last few months (especially my flat mates).

Cheers,

Tommo
