Story

Just an update following yesterday's race...

We completed it in 1:05:54. There was a slight scare as Ian had somehow contracted a stomach bug on Saturday which threatened our participation, but fortunately he felt well enough to start by Sunday morning.

It was amazing to have so many people call out Jamie by name as we ran through the streets of London. He was clearly an inspiration to many others participating and cheering on from the pavements.

So a MASSIVE thank you is in order to everyone who sponsored us.

We are so incredibly grateful to you, and have already heard from the Manna Society that together we raised more than half of the total amount raised for them from those participating in Sunday's 10k.

We will both request matched funding from Channel 4 & Salesforce, so that should hopefully double the amount raised.

Your generosity will prevent many homeless people going hungry.

We're supporting the Manna Society since we both want to give back to those who have fallen on challenging circumstances, to the extent that they need the services that the Manna Society provide.

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.
