My final update before the “race” 😮. We are heading towards £7000! Your generosity will make a difference to so many lives. Training done. Got a cold but just got to get on with it now. Thank you so much for all your support and good wishes, it really means a huge amount to me

Well over the £5k mark!!!! 20 miles last wk, shorter runs this week, tapering off for the big day. Hopefully this time in 2w I’ll be tucked up in bed having run a marathon! I’m humbled by your generosity - you’ve put me in the top 10 London Marathon fundraisers for AN at the mo!!

Mega fundraising continues - have some more offline donations to put in. THANK YOU!!! It was Jonathan’s anniversary on 27th and that has really galvanised me to keep going for the final push...onto my last “long” run tomorrow aiming for 18-20 miles. Have a bit of a ligament strain at mo so will have to see. I would rather injure myself more on the big day than on a training run! Getting close to that massive £5k - amazing.

We are doing so well with the fundraising, I’ve had to set sights higher...let’s go for £5000! Imagine what a difference that could make for Anthony Nolan and the people who benefit so much from their work.

Massive boost to the total from our mega disco on Saturday night. Thank you to all who came, drank, danced and spent their money. This will provide vital funds for research and genuinely save lives by matching more bone marrow donors! Thank you for being so generous.

Mega fundraiser last night, and a 16 mile run in the morning! Your generous support is keeping me going...have some cash donations which may take me over my target!! Watch this space.

Thanks and thanks again all who have donated via JG, and to me in person...Over half way there now, with a total of £1050!!! Off for my weekly long run tomorrow. It may even not rain ! 🏃‍♂️🦆🌧

Hi all, donations keep coming in! Thanks to everyone’s generosity, I’m now up to a total of £675, which is amazing and touching. This will really help AN keep literally saving lives, finding more donors, and researching. It also keeps me going training despite the aches and rain!

Thanks all for your support! I am touched, and it spurs me on to keep going with the training...managed to avoid some of the rain...longish run this weekend to come.

Well I’ve got my first donation - let’s get going with some more! Selling one of my treasured Saint Etienne rarities on eBay; Nursing a bit of a hamstring strain but getting out there at least
