'Chairman of Lights for Life charity extends his fundraising efforts to another notable cause' Chris Crook ran the London Marathon on Sunday 26th April In memory of Tom Hitt and in aid of the Children’s Leukaemia charity, ‘CLIC Sargent’. It is nearly 4 years now since we lost Tom to Leukaemia,  at the tender age of 16 years and 10 months.  Tom was the son of my best friend Dave, who I have grown up with and known since he himself was eleven.  Our two families have spent many great times and holidays over the years together, which have given us some great memories, before Tom was struck with this dreadful disease of ‘Myloid’ Leukaemia.

Well here I am.... I made it in 4:12! Well, I managed to get around in one piece despite the added challenge of a very hot day down in London!  I did also manage to beat Ronan Keating and Katie Price, but I don't suppose that is too much to shout about is it! I ran the whole way and didn't 'hit the wall' which was most pleasing on my part!  It was a fantastic spectacle to be part of although not one I will be expecting to ever do again!  I really enjoyed three parts, crossing Tower Bridge at 11 miles and feeling good still, the wonderful support of the crowd, it really was overwhelming at times and of course running down the Mall to the finish, breathtaking!   Not that I had much to take by that time!   With the support of so many of you, incredibly I will expect to have raised more than £1,800 for the CLIC Sargent charity.  I expected this to be very tough, tougher than the race itself, but it has been a great privilege to reach this figure for such a great cause and for me, one that does mean a great deal to me, thank you all so much.   Cheers Chris Reports and photo's of your local event, are always welcome for the Village website.
