I COMPLETED the London Marathon this year and finished with a time of 5hrs 13mins, due to turning my ankle at 13 miles. I am currently training for next year's London Marathon and hope to record a better time of 3hrs 30mins.

I would like to thank my two training partners Ritchie and Andy for all the help they have given me and hope they will do it again this time round. I would also like to thank all the people at the Cross Keys for their donations and especial thanks to Ann for helping me to raise over £2,000 for Breakthrough Breast Cancer. I have a special thanks to Tuffty, of Link Plumbing Supplies on Howsell Road Industrial Estate, for his generous donation.

I have sent a cheque for £1,660 so far and I am still collecting money in. So all the people who have pledged money and have not paid yet could you please do so, so I can find out exactly how much I have raised towards Breakthrough Breast Cancer.
