Thank you for considering sponsoring me for my 18th—and last as a Member of Parliament—London Marathon run, in aid of The Christie hospital—and in memory of my mother and children's campaigner, Alex Timpson MBE.

The event was held on Sunday 21st April, and I managed to complete the course in 4 hours 6 minutes and 26 seconds—not bad given that I'm now in the over-50s category! My results card can be found below.

Donating through JustGiving is still possible at bit.ly/ETMP-Christie-Donation. It's simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe: they will never be sold on or used for mailing lists.

Once you have donated, JustGiving will send your money directly to The Christie.

This is the most efficient way to donate—saving time and cutting costs for the hospital!

Thank you once again for your support—it means a great deal to me, my family, and the many Christie patients across our Eddisbury constituency!
