Dear All,

 

Struggling through the second half of the race, I completed the London Marathon on Sunday. My training had equipped me well for the first half which I ran through in two hours, but the absence of miles in the tank and a painful leg undermined the rest of the race and I ended in about 4 hours 54 minutes.

 

However, the main thing is that through your generosity, Get Connected have been the beneficiaries. I am incredibly grateful that you were able to sponsor me, and, believe me, in the tough miles of the marathon, I was very mindful of the sponsorship you had given to spur me on.. At this stage I am slightly above my target and this should enable 1,100 young people to be helped by Get Connected. This is a superb result and it would not have been possible without your support.

Best wishes,

 

Matt
