I WOULD like to thank all the firms and individuals in East Lancashire who gave sponsorship money to my team and myself for our recent marathon 'log carry' over the Brecon Beacons - and the team members and back-up crew who braved horrific weather conditions to make this event possible.

The £800 raised has been donated to Derian House Children's Hospice.
