    Sorry to hear of your loss, I hope that the Marathon goes well. I can't offer financials as I just gave to Samaritans as I lost a school friend to suicide a few months ago. I know it was nothing as sad as your situation but seeing on facebook a post from her hubby, just broke my heart - she too was loved but felt she had not other option (lots of health issues) such a worthy cause, good luck.

    Thank you for all your support so far.

    Just a quick update: My training is going well. 2 months ago when I started I could barely run a mile. Last Sunday morning I went for a 15 mile run! :)

    I would greatly appreciate if you could donate anything for such a great cause.

    Thank you once again.

    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    Thank you rubytuesday.

    I successfully completed the marathon in 4hrs 50mins.

    Very pleased with that after not really doing any running before November last year!

    Thank you everyone for your support and donations.

    Dan :D

    Well done!
    How much did you raise?
    The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer - I was in my late 20s when I figured out what this meant.

    I neither take or enter agreements which deal with interest. I dont want to profit from someone's misery.
