Congratulations to all the Isle of Wight residents who took part in Sunday’s London Marathon.
Special congratulations go to Ian Gregory and Amy Milford-Wood.
Ian fundraising for Prostate Cancer
This was Ian’s first marathon on foot (you might remember him for his epic cycle rides), who despite living with Fibromyalgia, eight damaged discs, spondylitis of the spine, hip problems and much more, completed the 26.2 miles in eight hours and 51 minutes.
Taking part in the virtual Virgin London Marathon, Ian ran laps of Hyde Park until the 26.2 miles were completed. Ian was raising money for Prostate Cancer UK.
Amy fundraising for Vegan Society
This was also Amy’s first marathon. She started running during Lockdown and lost 11 stone whilst training for couch to 5k.
Through her hard work and determination Amy managed to get from couch to 5k to marathon in just over a year (read more about it). Amy, who completed the 26.2 miles in five hours and 21 minutes, was raising funds for The Vegan Society.
We hope all those who took part yesterday manage to get a well-deserved rest today. Well done to you all.
