“I’m pleased to report that all went well during last weeks Edinburgh half marathon. Fortunately the 08:00 start time meant that we were nearly half way around before the sun broke through (a rare event here), however the last 3 miles was a little punishing! My official course time was 1:49:30, a full 30 seconds ahead of my personal target and I finished 1661st overall , 291st in my category. Not sure what they are trying to say here!!

The really great news is that through the generosity of my supporters/donors, we have raised over £1,400 (including gift aid) for Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY), a figure that is more than twice my original target. I chose your charity in memory of a family friend, Sam Michael Wright, who collapsed and died suddenly last December, aged just 19 years. Sam’s family are active fundraisers for CRY.

I’ve attached a picture of me and two of my loyal supporters, daughters Amelia (right) and Louisa (left). Thank you for your support in making last Sunday’s event such a great result for me and for CRY. Keep up the good work!”
