If you have been following this blog for a while, you may remember reading about a good friend of mine who died last September.
To honour his life and to raise money for relevant charities, ten friends pounded the streets of Paris in his name.
Many of you have been kind enough to contact me both on the blog and in private to wish my friends luck and to offer me support.
It only seemed right, therefore, that I should update this section, even though it has such a tenuous link to travel and even though I can still only write about it in such stilted sentences.
I’m happy to say that all ten friends completed the marathon, with each person achieving a personal best for them. An eleventh friend then also completed the London marathon in record time last weekend.
For those of you who still wish to donate, the page is still open here.
For everyone, I would still repeat the message I’ve been saying again and again over the last year: please, please, please learn how to do CPR. You never know when you will get the chance to save a life.
Thank you for reading this far. Normal travel blogging will be back soon…
