I want to take this blog post as an opportunity to thank a lot of people for all their help and support. Firstly, a monumental thanks to the vast list of people who generously donated money to the cause. You've all helped less fortunate people to get back on their feet and it's much appreciated.

Secondly, I want to thank everyone who made this insane journey possible, both from my company and the lovely people at Crisis. There are a lot of names I've probably forgotten (and I'm so sorry about that!), but the names I can remember include Amanda from Integral, Neil and Gemma from JLL, and Rosie and Anna from Crisis. Thank you all for giving me the chance to fulfil a lifelong ambition and supporting me every step of the way.
Finally, I want to thank those in my life who supported me each and every step of the way. My (now) wife Nikki, my family and friends, and everyone who cheered me on during that incredible day and the seven months of hard, hard training that I completed in the build-up.
Sincerely, thank you all.
The 2019 London Marathon is over, but my next challenges are on the horizon. I'll be sharing more details soon and getting back into running shape. Can't wait to get started!
