London Marathon – update

On Sunday 27th April, after months of training, Chris Marshall successfully completed  the London Marathon. Despite the warm weather, he finished in a very respectable 4 hours and 23 minutes.  He was running in memory of his grandmother Edna Seed who died in July last year. She was beautifully cared for in her last 3 weeks of life in Katharine House Hospice so Chris’s aim was to raise £2000 for this worthwhile charity. To date he has raised just over £3000 so thank you to everyone who donated – it has been really appreciated by Jan and Chris .

If anyone would still like to donate, his just giving page will be open for the next few weeks.
