IN April my daughter Hannah and I ran the London Marathon in aid of the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign, a cause very near to our hearts.

We set out to raise at least £1,500 and have recently finished collecting all sponsorship monies. We have just received our receipt from the charity for the tremendous sum of £4,145.

Hannah and I would like to send out our heartfelt appreciation to each and every person who supported our cause but, in particular, the owners and members of Physique Fitness Gym in Droitwich, nor only for the sponsorship but also the training and dietary input; the pupils of Droitwich Spa High School for the proceeds of their non-uniform day and the members of Droitwich Spa Veterans Football Club for their support in a number of ways.

We always hear bad news and not enough of the good type. Hannah and I want to redress the balance a little.

Thanks to you all.
