Just a short note to say many thanks to everyone who made a donation, I will keep this event open for another week or two, to allow the late comers time to submit their donation!! the £2000 mark will be broken and every penny goes to St. Wilfrids Hospice. Great effort everyone and happy 2019 Regards Noel and Molly Malone

Hi guys I have kept the site open for another couple of weeks and to push towards doubling my target to £2000, please pass it around again, and once again a huge thanks to everyone here in the UK and out across the waters for your generosity.

Its Done, 5.55 was my official time!! an hour longer than I intended!! but in fairness, I was running with a strain in the right calf, picked up two weeks before hand! and a dose of flu!! More physio to come and then back to basketball! The marathon gave me a great focus for five months and raised some much needed funds for the hospice. A huge thank you to everyone who supported me by donating and my target of £1000 was surpassed! and to those in "team Malone" who turned out on the day! Kath I am sure will approve! Thanks again, Noel x (picture to follow)

A huge thankyou to everyone who has supported me so far, it is very much appreciated and please keep putting it out there! Training is going well, this coming weekend 29/30 september, I am planning 22 miles! That will probably be my longest run, then start to ease down! A short trip to Ireland next week might change that, depending on how much Guinness goes down!!! Thanks again to all who help out while I am running, my Molly dog sitters are invaluable and very funny!

Now up to 16.4 miles 3.15 hours in wet and windy conditions on the course. Stepping it up over the next 6 weeks to around 22 miles! Thankyou to all who have donated so far and please keep sharing the link. Best wishes noel

Todays training on the marathon course was hard going on my own, I covered 14.4 miles. Next week it goes to 15.5 Please share with everyone and help to raise much needed funds for St Wilfrid's Hospice
