I'd like to thank everyone who has given so generously in supporting fundraising for 'The Friends of Pershore Hospital' by sponsoring my run in the London Marathon.

I am totally overwhelmed by the huge sum of money raised, it made every gruelling step of the 26.2miles worthwhile!

Thank you to Jan Garrett and Mike Amies who organised all the fundraising, their effort was supreme.

It was Trisha Freeman, The Friend's Chairman who mentioned the possibility of sponsoring a marathon runner to me and the challenge was too great to resist!

All these people have enabled me to fulfil a personal dream and in doing so raise money for this fantastic cause.

Laura Robertson, Lower Pensham.
