My son, the Marathon Man

Yes, while I was on holiday with Mark & Marie, my boy was running the London Marathon in 25 degree heat wave! He was helped along by James, a friend of Simon B, and managed the course in 5 hours 7 minutes 23 seconds - faster than Gordon Ramsey!

He said, "It was very hot but all the fans cheering me on helped loads. Thanks to all that sponsored me too." He raised a total of 25p for the charity 'Good Old Days' for ex-television presenters who are on hard times, like Keith Chegwin.

Here are some photos from the day...
