Evening everyone, so on Sunday Mrs H completed the TCS London Marathon for Starlight

This was remarkable because in February she had a mini stroke. After lots of tests including MRI, lumbar puncture and CT scans, she was given the all clear to run.

She got round in 7 hours

Morning all, thank you so much for all the love, support and best wishes.

Starlight were amazing and so brilliant work in children’s hospitals.

Can we push this to £1000 before the end of the day?
