It's almost here!!!
The moment our dedicated runners have been waiting for.
Sunday sees the streets of London swarmed with pounding feet, some experienced marathon runners just trying for a personal best, and others attempting it for the first time.
It's been a week of twists and turns with the volcanic ash causing havoc for so many people, including one of our runners Paul Adams.
After years of trying to get a place in the London Marathon, he finally got one this year running on our behalf, and he is now stuck in Canada where he has been on standby for a week, desperately trying to return home.
Paul is mortified at the thought of going through all that training and not being able to run. He has focused hard on the challenge of running the marathon, training diligently for months, keeping himself motivated through the bad weather of the winter and now to be stuck so far away can only spell frustration.
Our fingers are firmly crossed for Paul, and if he cant make it this year, his place will carry over to next year so not everything will be lost for him.
All our other runners are fully ready, set for a great day and even the weather forecast is good! We wish you all the very best of luck.
So please get behind our runners, Derek Nye, Thomas Harrington, Paul Temple, Paul Adams, David Mayne and Vanessa Ashworth by sponsoring them here: www.macintyrefundraising.org
