Completed the 2024 London Marathon this afternoon (4h29min47sec). Hats off to my lovely wonderful sponsors (justgiving.com/page/jeff-bru…) and supporters.
Today, I ran 16.6 miles in freezing rain. Why? Because I'm determined to get fit for the upcoming London Marathon in just 49 days.
If you’ve got some spare cash and you want to make a difference, please sponsor me – I’m running for an awesome charity: justgiving.com/page/jeff-bru….
