Kids Kidney Research

A huge congratulations and thank you to all our runners who took part 
on Sunday in the first Virgin London Marathon.  It turned out 
thankfully not to be too warm a day, contrary to weather predictions, 
despite a downpour right at the start which must have dampened more 
than moods!!.  There were some amazing times achieved, and special 
mention must be given to Sue Kumleben, who, running her first 
marathon, finished in an incredible 3 hours 20 minutes!!   She is also 
our leading fundraiser, as of today!!  Congratulations Sue!  Both 
Giles Reynolds and Sam Clark (photo) finished in sub 4 hours, coming 
in together in 3 hours 53 minutes!  A fantastic run by Sam, who not 
only had to drop out last year due to injury, but is also suffering 
from a form of kidney disease, which is helped through her 
exercising.  Special mention also to Neil Baverstock, who crossed the 
finish line this year in a very respectable time, eight years after 
having to pull out due to a severe kidney problem which led to renal 
failure and to his sister donating a kidney to him!!  Well done Neil, 
no mean feat!!
