Thank you

Thank you for visiting Jogging And Blogging - the home of Will's Marathon Challenge. 

As you probably already know, the challenge is now over. I wanted to write an update and personally thank everyone for their kind support and donations. 

The support has been absolutely overwhelming and the total raised for The Royal Marsden (incl. Gift Aid) is an incredible £10,469.23

It was a truly punishing series of 3 half & 3 full marathons in just 8 months and whilst I won’t be invited to join the local track team, I made it around each and every run.

I would not have been able to do this without the support and generosity of everyone as it was this that kept my knees moving on race day, especially at Mile 17 of the London Marathon one of the hottest days on record and some extreme weather conditions at Edinburgh (including the ash cloud, 80mph winds horizontal rain & sleet and even snow!)

I can honestly say that I have enjoyed it and although I sadly did not better my PB each time, I would consider it a huge success. If however, you feel that I did not keep up my end of the bargain, please do let me know and you will be reimbursed for your donation. Each run had its ups & downs but I know long emails are not for everyone, so if you are interested you can find race reports & photos of each run at joggingandblogging.com 

I have since been nominated to carry the Olympic Flame in recognition of my fundraising efforts for The Royal Marsden and you can view my nomination watch a short video and vote for me online here. 

Thanks again for your support.
