Brave DRWF supporter, John Kinchen, is celebrating after
running two marathons in just two weeks in aid of Help the Hospices and the Diabetes Research & Wellness Foundation.
John ran both the Marathon de Paris on 11th April and the 2010 London Marathon soon after, on the 25th April. His target time for the Marathon in Paris was 4 hours 30 minutes, but he actually completed the run in just 4 hours 14 minutes. He ran the London Marathon in 4 hours and 4 minutes, his second fastest ever time!
John, whose sister Jenny works as office administrator for DRWF, said, ‘I found the Paris marathon the more enjoyable of the two and definitely more scenic. But London had the better crowds and atmosphere. I was surprised to get a faster time in the second marathon - I can't think of any reason why apart from the fact that I put my feet up on the Saturday afternoon when I arrived in London!’
Well done John and DRWF would like to thank you for your support.
