London Marathon
2003
On Sunday April 13th 2003, Donna and Steve ran the
London Marathon.
Donna's time was 03:42:09 hrs:min:sec
Donna was the 681st woman finisher and the 6,157th overall.
Steve's time was approx 1 sec later.
He must have been approximately the 5,477th male finisher and
the 6,158th overall.
Their legs and lungs felt every second of their times.
Well done to both of them.
They put to shame those of us who did not compete or did not finish.
The Charity and Donations
Donna and Steve raised more than £3,000 in funds
for a charity called Whizz-Kidz,
Registered Charity Number 802872.
This charity provides mobility aids, such as motorized wheel chairs,
for children with mobility problems.
Details of the Whizz-Kidz can be found on their website:
http://www.whizz-kidz.org.uk
or from Whizz-Kidz, 1 Warwick Road, London SW1E 5ER
Any donation would be gratefully received as
Donna and Steve still owe Francis a modest debt!
The funds given to the Whizz-Kidz will be maximised if you send
donations
(monies or cheques) payable to Donna and Steve's friend:
Francis Glenister, 48 Faircross Way, St. Albans, Herts AL1 4SB,
England
Tel : +44 (0)1727 850727 (H) +44 (0)20 7986 3180 (W)

This was done with money raised for Whizz-Kidz when
Donna and Steve cycled across Australia.
Call Francis if you want to know more.
The Run
Did Donna really know what she was letting herself
in for?
Here is the route from 2000. The run in 2003 was essentially identical.
