Hi Everyone

Despite the very sunny weather on Sunday, we both completed the Great North Run with just a few aching muscles and some minor sun burn! I could use the heat as part of my excuse of being 4 minutes slower than my previous best from last year rather than the lack of proper pace training....either that or it's just an age thing! Louise was happy to be a minute faster than last year and much better than she has done in her training efforts!

But what really matters is that with the kind generosity of all our supporters we will easily surpass our target amount once all the money is accounted for and are happy to have done this for Meningitis Now in memory of Harry.

As always it was a great weekend and still an incredible sight to see 50 odd thousands individuals put themselves through the challenge and to stream over the finish line and see the looks of joy and relief on their faces knowing they've done it....whether they walked most of it or were on the heels of Mo all the way! Congratulations to them all. A huge thank you to everyone who sponsored them as well as us and have made a difference to lots of good causes and lives in the process.

Roll on next year :-)

Thank you all so much for your continued support.

Sean & Louise

P.S. We've updated the Virgin Money Charity page to include the photo of us both with our medals in the Meningitis Now tent at the end. The page will also continue to accept donations for a while yet ;-)
