A BIG THANK YOU to everyone who sponsored me. Made it around in 4:20:37 - a fantastic day, brilliant atmosphere, very sore legs.

I’m running ran the Virgin London Marathon 2010 for Autism Concern, which is currently trying to raise £150, 000 to ensure the charity's survival.

Autism Concern provides quality specialist holiday activity days for children with autistic spectrum disorders. These activity days provide an opportunity for children on the autistic spectrum to have a fun day in a safe and secure environment with fully trained staff and are often the only opportunity to participate in play activities to help their interaction and social skills.

(This will be my, ahem, 4^th attempt to run the London Marathon, the other three attempts having been cut short by injury or accident !)

So please dig deep and donate now.
