Congratulations to Julian Sayers, who completed the London Marathon in 4:47:57 in unseasonally high temperatures.
Julian said:
“Many thanks to all those in the Village who supported my run as a result of which £15,000 has been raised to date for The Anthony Nolan Trust and the RABI. The going was a bit too hot for this particular horse which slowed down between 15 and 20 miles despite taking on plenty of water! Having said that taking part was a fantastic experience and one which I will not forget for a long time to come. My next outing will be the Hagbourne Fun Run!”
Julian took part in this year’s London Marathon on Sunday 22nd April to raise money for The Anthony Nolan Bone Marrow Trust, who offered him a place having been on their donor list for many years, and The Royal Agricultural Benevolent Institution (RABI), of which he is a Trustee. The decision to run followed a campaign to get fit over the previous18 months and having successfully taken part in a series of 10k (6 mile) events, he decided to go for broke and attempt the full 26 miles!
