Virgin London Marathon
I just wanted to say thank you to all your team at the MS Trust for helping me round the marathon course on Sunday. The cheering teams were great and really spurred me on - I kept looking out for your flag as I got to the two zones where I thought they'd be and they didn't let me down with their shouts of encouragement!! And also thank you for the massage and cup of tea after I finished - wow were they both VERY welcome!! And for looking after my family so well too.

I just wanted to say a massive Thank you for accepting me to be a Golden Bond runner for the MS Trust! It was one of the best experiences I have had and I am so proud of my achievement but I wouldn't have been able to do this if it wasn't for the Trust - I can't thank you enough! Please pass on my thanks for everyone in your team and I do hope I will be running for you again in the future!
