Wowie, So I managed to complete it! All 26.2 miles. It wasn't easy but forcing my legs to carry me the distance. The supporting crowds were amazing- forcing me to run when I thought I had no more energy in my legs. From miles 20 to the finish I felt as though I had legs of stone, but I couldn't give up for all the support you have given throughout my long journey.

Thank you again for all your support in donations. Please spread the word that fundraising doesn't stop yet. There is still time to get your donation in.
