I WOULD like to say thank you to everyone I know who sponsored me in this year's London Marathon, many of whom did so for the third time.

They have helped me to reach the fantastic total of £2,530 for the Starlight Foundation, a charity which grants wishes for terminally ill children.

Besides pledging their money, people have also been supportive in many other ways giving me constant encouragement during my training and making me feel they were with me every step of the way, which is great motivation.

Once again Thanks to everyone for being so brilliant and helping such a worthy cause!
