Virgin London Marathon

London Marathon runner in 2011

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!

The MS Trust has now allocated all of its Gold Bond places.
However we are holding a reserve list, and each year we are able to offer places to reserves after members of our team have to pull out with injury etc. If you would like to apply for a place on our reserve list (in return for pledging to pay a registration fee of £100 and raise a minimum of £1,500 in sponsorship if you are offered a place) then please call us on 01462 476707 or email fundraising@mstrust.org.uk

Thank you to our 2011 team

Thank you and well done to everyone who ran the London Marathon for the MS Trust on Sunday 17 April 2011.

There is always a fantastic atmosphere in London on Marathon day and this year was no exception, with thousands of inspiring runners putting themselves through this physical and mental challenge to raise funds for causes that mean so much to them. We are very grateful to everyone who ran on behalf of the MS Trust and it was a real pleasure to meet so many of our runners and their friends and families at our post race reception.
