Hi folks,

Well it’s all over and I’m just about recovered.

I finished in just over 2 hrs 20 mins, which is slightly worse than last year, but I put that down to the heat and the fact that I am a year older. Anyway I’m still pretty pleased.

That was my bit; now comes your part. Although the race is over I’m still collecting as I haven’t met my overall target so please help and donate to what is a very worthwhile cause that needs every penny it can get hold of.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

However, if you really feel unhappy about donating on-line I'll be getting paper forms and am happy to receive cheques made out to the relevant charity.

So please dig deep and donate now to these charities that do such amazing work.

Thank you.
