When Claire heard that we had a place available in this year’s London Marathon, she didn’t hesitate in taking up the challenge. This was Claire’s first marathon and, from the outset, it was clear that her commitment and determination would see her through what would be a tremendous feat of endurance for anyone. With the support of her husband Shaun, and her children Emily and Josh, she put in the miles, gradually building her training runs up to 20 miles! She courageously completed the marathon in a superb time of 5hrs, 7mins and 50secs which saw her leave Suzannah Reid of BBC Breakfast TV in her wake! We can only imagine the tremendous effort that Claire must have committed in meeting this challenge and we are extremely grateful to her. Many people have recognised Claire’s efforts and the amazing sum of £2,111.00 has been pledged by sponsors. We are very proud of you Claire and hope that others will be inspired by you. Very well done.
