SOME of your readers may have been among the 940 NSPCC runners who took part in the London Marathon on April 13 to raise money for the society.
I send out my heartfelt thanks to all those who ran, jogged, walked and hobbled the 26.2 mile course.
We are still counting the exact amount but know that it will be between £500,000 and £1 million.
Special thanks also to the many supporters who took part in alternative Marathon events.
Anybody interested in running the London Marathon in 1998 can contact us on 0171 825 2647.
