Another Big Thank you...we're past my target

Thank you all so much again for your kind donations. Your generosity has smashed through my target figure of £2000 and we are heading fast towards the £3000 mark. It goes to show what a popular and worthwhile charity LOROS is and also how many people have contributed towards Ann's memory. Thank you also from the many donations that have flooded in from friends of Ann and John and family, locally and from around the world.

Marathon 2 - London, Sunday 22nd April

Two down and just two to go! After feeling how I did after this marathon, I was just not looking forward to the next two, I can tell you. Well, I suppose it was a bit warm and considering it was the hottest London marathon ever, 8o deg. on the course, I could be forgiven for my feelings - and my legs were still tired from my epic adventure the week before. I finished in 3hrs 49mins and I was more than pleased with that. But my claim to fame…I SHARED A SHOWER WITH SALLY GUNNELL!! Yes, as true as I was riding my bike in yesterday’s event! Seriously, we had a short chat when she ran along side me and then I ran the last 4 miles with her and was even seen on TV running shoulder to shoulder along Bird Cage Walk, just before the finish line. The shower, unfortunately, was one of a number provided alongside the road for runners to pass through, as I did with Sally....unfortunately, I had forgotten the soap. Maybe next time Sal!

Now on to Stratford upon Avon this Sunday for my next marathon ….

Congratulations to Paula, my wife, for a fantastic run and an excellent time considering her circumstances. The old bird came in at 3hrs 56mins, just 7 minutes behind me. Well done Paula!
