Matt's Marathon
Run - Blog
Matt Letley completed the London Marathon on Sunday April 26th with a very respectable
time of 4 hours 50 minutes! Matt said "From halfway onwards it gets really tough and I
began to slow dramatically. The only consolation is that you know everyone else is feeling
the same. I would just like to say many thanks to all the fans that came along to cheer me
on, it really helped!".
By completing the course Matt raised over 6K for the David Shepherd Wildlife Foundation, recently voted by a BBC poll
as one of the most effective and popular wildlife charities in Britain.
Matt's Marathon blog is on hissitenow.
