The crowds were out in force yesterday in London and I was very pleased to manage to keep running and finish the race. Although my time of 3 hr 24 mins 9 seconds was one of the slowest of the 15 or so marathons I've run, this one meant a lot to me. The reasons being that it has been over 8 years since I last ran a marathon seriously and having concentrated mostly on mountain biking I was carrying a few running related injuries (caused by increasing the training) in to the race yesterday. I wasn't totally confident that I would be able to finish, but so glad I did and for reasons and a cause close to my heart.

Jamie, my 10 yr old son with LS, was watching the race yesterday on TV and said that he would like to run it one day, how I wish that that could be true, he certainly would enjoy the many bands and drums on the couse. But then again he would stop and dance at each one!

14 April 05 Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online. You may not have heard of Lowe Syndrome Trust or indeed Lowe Syndrome. It is rare genetic condition which is caused by a single defective gene on the X-chromosome - that results in the lack of an enzyme. As a result the condition affects only boys. The condition became known as "Lowe syndrome" named after Dr. Charles Lowe, the senior member of the group that described it. Because of the three major organ systems involved (eyes, brain, and kidney), it is also known as OCRL (oculo-cerebro-renal) syndrome. My 10 year old son, Jamie, has Lowe Syndrome.
