We would like to say a massive thank you and well done to each and every one of you who battled through and completed the London Marathon in aid of LOROS last Sunday!

Fundraising Co-ordinator Andrew Ward said: "Completing a marathon is such a massive challenge, with our runners training months in advance of the big day.

"Every single one of them deserve their medal for crossing that finish line!

“I can only thank them for their incredible efforts supporting LOROS.”

All 16 of our runners safely completed the 26.2 mile route, with some absolutely fantastic finishing times, which are listed below:

LOROS Runner Gill McGarry said: "It was such a fantastic day, the noise, the people, the shouting, the music - it was very special.

"To top it all I took a taxi to the station to get to the start and the driver was a Tottenham fan and gave me £10 back to sponsor me - then Leicester won 4-0...if Carling made Sundays!"

Check out the photos in the album above, which includes all our runners at the finish.
