**STOP PRESS**
I am running the 2013 London Marathon in a few weeks' time for Action for Stammering Children and Whizz-Kidz.

I’d like to say a huge thank you for sponsoring me to run the London Marathon this year. Amazingly, I completed it in 5 hours 31mins!
As you know, I ran for two great charities – and we raised over £65,000 – which is an incredible amount of money.
The whole day was truly remarkable and while there were many high points, there were a few low points too – including being passed by a Water Aid camel and a woman Hula Hooping all the way round!
All of the brilliant support I have received kept me going on the day. So once again, thank you for your support for these two very worthwhile causes.
